I've got mixed feelings about it. Mine has stock suspension, KYB shocks, bushings of unknown vintage (possibly original). While a competent highway cruiser, I find it a bit wandering on bad roads and due to the heavy engine up front it's a bit understeered for fast cornering - I can throw a 940, 245 or even 145 around a corner faster than the 164. While it's a nice enough car and I've enjoyed driving it for the past two years I think it's time for me to move on.

Oh well, 6 grand US plus shipping and you can have mine - includes nearly new Vredestein tires, blasted and powdercoated rims, trailer hitch, new front calipers, renewed interior, M46 4+OD from a 240, propane conversion dual fuel and AC that needs a refill, possibly a compressor. Rust free california car, cal papers in my posession, currently on dutch registration and residing in the Netherlands. Nice driver as is or give it a respray (paint worn/faded from sun).
