"all original" isn't good, when it comes to drivetrain, wheels and 
tires... :-)

Grab the driveshaft and shake it, bad U joints?

But if I had to guess without seeing, bent wheels, bad tires, bad 
shocks, ...

See if it varies when you: cruise flat and level; push the clutch to the 
floor; decellerate, accellerate. If it changes with those it could be 
driveline junk. Else wheels.

I'm sure others have better ideas.

There's been quite a flurry of early American activity here these last 
few months! They have their chronic bad spots, front suspension being 
one of them, but once gone through, they're quite reliable, and a blast 
to drive, in spite of the lack of power. There's a real synergy between 
it's well-chosen components.
