I owned 3 of them, back in the day. A 1971, 1972 and a 1975. The 1971 was an ugly grey color, the '72 was Colorado yellow/orange, and the '75 was Mint Green. The best was the '72. The '75 had drivability issues and those ugly bumpers. Yes, they do rust. I would never want one of them today, as the availability of parts is poor, and, in all truth, we remember them as "more wonderful than they really were". IMO, of course. But for a smaller, basic, lower weight car, they were a good handler, even with only about 107 or so HP from the base engine. The ones to collect would be the real "tii" and the "turbo", all prior to 1974.
