Hi, I'm Rowan, and I own a 1976 Volaré coupe. It's in fair condition, I plan on doing a light restoration, fresh paint and rustproofing, a bit of interior work, and a few slight performance mods.
I paid too much for it, at $3500, but I figured it was worth it to own such a neat car. It only has about 25,000 original miles on it, which is actually to its detriment in some ways, as it's spent much of its life sitting.
The cooling system is getting a complete overhaul, new water pump, radiator, thermostat, hoses, everything. After that it's just getting an oil change, a new air filter, and we'll see what it needs from there. Maybe new shocks, probably new belts. I'm doing the cooling system on Wednesday, weather permitting. I'll try to post more about it when I can!
