to address your questions in order;
there is no frame stiffening in it and my door clearances have not compressed to any perceptible degree. no roll-bar.
the engine temps to creep up while driving it on the highway but stay cool in stop and go traffic on hot days. IMHO, that tells me i need to open up the exhaust ducts in the fender wells.
the tranny needs help and this deal came with 2 spare trannys.
i insure this car as "stated value". meaning an insurance adjuster might value it as a '74 POS, but i know that it will take much more that that to repair/replace it. my stated value is much higher.
hope that answers all of your questions.
thanks for tuning in.

Dr. Roger,
I imagine that this may be a sore subject and if so do not reply, but should your car return to the market, what if any frame stiffening has it? Roll bar? So, the current state is that the trans needs work and it tends to run hot when cruising? on a hot day? A hot day meaning? Anything else? Also, forgive my ignorance, but how do you insure this vehicle? How does it do entering driveways, or how low is it? Thanks
