Yesterday I posted *Do I Need a New Engine*.  The valued response from the
list was that I do.  Now I must face the realities of that expense.  Being
the bread winner in a single income family with the responsibilities of a
wife and 3 van rats I'm not sure if I can justify a $3k+ bill for what is
more or less a toy.

Would anyone be interested in an extremely good condition 86GL weekender.
Details:
        > 86 GL Weekender; metallic brown (clean, waxed last night); tan
interior (spotless) Auto trans; AC
        > 180k miles
        > combustion gas/pressure in cooling system (gasket failure or
cracked head).  The engine is spotless and dry. It runs strong around town
but builds pressure in the coolant at highway speeds.
        > too many new parts and stuff to list
        > very detailed maintenance records
        > Texas van now in Maine (winter stored in heated garage)
Notable features:
        > 15" Route OZ wheels, professionally custom painted centers to
match body color
        > Professionally (legal) smoked glass
        > Custom curtains
        > Remote keyless entry
        > Custom chromed bumpers
        > Full set of custom floor mats

I would like to think that its worth around $2000.

Anyone interested...  I will regretfully sell as is if it makes sense.  I
figure if I cant get a decent amount as is I will repair then sell.
The van is in Portland, Maine

Thanks,
Eric
