One of my classmates in college has a yellow super that he is selling for $1,000. It is missing a running board and it has a dent in every fender. Aside from that the body is strait, there is no rust, and it runs. The car used to be a daily driver and is a California car. It sat for 9 years but started right up with some gas and new oil.

I am aware that the supers are known for more problems with shimmies and shakes on the front end right? Is there a fix for that by using urethane bushings all around? What else should I be aware of with the McPherson front end? It can't be made higher for dune buggies but it doesn't matter because I don't need it for that.

The reason why I want his super is because it has a larger gas tank, more trunk space and it handles better on the highway which is where I'll be using it most of the time.

What should I look out for on this car and be aware of? Is 1971 a year to avoid for the Supers?
