I stopped by and saw it on Friday, although no one was there. Looks nice, interior nice (brown/tan interior--not the real light tan/beige, a more medium color) no visible damage inside or outside, exterior nice with "Synchro" pinstriping. Nice alloy wheels! BUT: 1) oil sludge/film (not thick) on the bottom (back bottom, where the muffler is) of the engine(may not be a problem, oil level was fine, this is probably from crankcase vent) and 2) coolant tank was empty :-( (this is the license plate tank--I couldn't see the other one). I didn't see any coolant stains on the heads, though. maybe it's just a leak in a hose or the radiator, or just time to fill it, but the tank was dry--I looked inside. Sorry, no one was there so I couldn't start it up or look further at the engine. But I live only a mile form this place, and I pass it every day on the way home, so I should be able to catch someone there. They don't keep very regular hours... --Dave --Dave ===================================== Dave Mancuso Mancuso@etown.k12.pa.us =====================================
