Mine KIND of works. It holds the car in place, if you don't hit the gas.

Mine hasn't worked since I bought it 3 years ago. I never need it and I don't really have the time to spend on it to fix it.

I used mine after I fixed the tranny and before replacing the Master Cylinder to stop the car. It's pulls a little higher now, but still works well enough that I wouldn't be too woried to use it if the brakes failed.

I have a 73 and the e-brake works with no problems. I am now worried because I have never adjusted it in the year that I have owned the car.

I say let's turn this one into a poll! Would you trade your E-brake for a decent cupholder?

STW!
