I thought they were pretty decent, you could get 2-4 year old left overs new, so damn cheap in the 80's. Not bad to look at either, nice cruisers, 4cyl. was powerful, and they handled fine with the right tires. Funny thing is they have held their values too. I'd never driven a shaft drive prior to these either, they were great, although the seals can leak from sitting. I had a lot of fun on them, filled a transportation gap when funds were very tight. Scariest thing I ever encountered was a huge pothole in the middle lane of the highway, just left my girlfriends house to got to work, so I just throttled to the max. as there was no time to get around it, I thought I was done, and ironically enough, I just floated over it like it did not exist, man someone was watchin out for me that morning, no doubt you had better be on your toes, it don't take much.
