It was a Washington State car -- no rust. The previous owner has spent a lot of money on it just recently -- new tires, shocks. I suspected it has a problem because it was at a new car dealer headed for the auction. I bought it with the stipulation that if it had head gasket leaks it was coming back. I paid $4500. I took it home and after the first night I has antifreeze puddles on both sides. Worked out a deal with the dealer to pay half to have the heads done. That cost me another $1250 for Boston Bob AMC heads, gaskets, water pump, misc. new plumbing parts, sensors, and labor. That was 15k ago. Tom '71 Westy, '85 Westy, '91 Carat
