Wow, I cannot believe how helpful you all have been. Profuse thank yous. Here's my latest. Larry Blazer (who seems like an absolute gem to me) checked out the 90 w/119k for $13,900 for me (non-syncro). He said it had a lot of rust, thought it was an East Coast vehicle, that it wouldn't last more than a couple of years. He said someone had attempted to cover up the rust. So, it's back to square one for me.

Thank you for the suggestions of websites to look at. I had previously checked out poptopheaven.com and gowesty.com. Those prices seemed really high. I didn't know that the Go Westy rebuilt engines were so much more powerful, as Kim pointed out, so I'll take that into consideration. I thought the Tiico engines were also supposed to be very powerful. Is that not the case? Samba.com was new to me, so it's added to my favorites.

White sounds very desireable in New Mexico, so I'll aim for that too.

Thanks, again! And I'll keep you posted.

Moolly
