I've heard some people say the Conquest insurance back then was worse than a
Corvettes!
They are a fun little car, especially if you like to tinker. Actually, you
have to like to tinker, since things will go wrong with it regularly and most
mechanics wont do anything but make it worse. Very finicky car. Its such a
oddball combination.... RWD + great handling + big torque 4 cyl I love it.
