I've heard BMWs described this way, with the justification being that
any car where the engine's center of mass is between the axles is
mid-engined (whether it's in front of the seats or behind).
I had a 1976 Monte Carlo with T-Top, they leaked every time it rained. Kept it
one year, went to work at a place called German Auto Parts (wholesale only) and
bought a 250C, silver with black interior and a sunroof, man I wish I still had

I'm confused by these lights. While on close inspection they appear to be Euro

I often think about that car, wishing I would have kept it but in
the end, like you, it was not practical, and I did not like

This applies mostly to turbo 617s. The real problem is not the
spring on the dampner, but the spring on the other end of the rack
inside the IP, and can only be fixed during a complete overhaul.
As the pump ages, the internal spring gets weak, and allows the rack
to vibrate back and forth
Maybe they were changed to allow the car to be re-imported?

I was wondering the same thing. The description is confusing because they
mention vacuum operated headlights, which, to my knowledge, were only a
function of the Euro lights.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The problem is for this one you can't use the brake system because
that system being a closed system it can't make the level in the MC
rise, you MUST have a pressure bleed device, which I don't.
MC level rising translates to brake pedal falling, does it not?
