Yeaahhhh...but the deal fell through. Finally put the durametric on it and it displayed some good and bad data.
The engine shows 2800 hours of run time and the car only had Zero Stage 2 over revs and 300 Stage 1 over revs...the last time the car had a Stage 1 over revs was 2700 hours ago. During the math, this car could have had its last redline in 1999 or 2000.
But, there were so many more issues that I had to rethink this purchase and was able to gain enough strength (and common sense) to say NO to the deal...heartbreaker!!!
Also, the car pulls to the left...as I finally got a good look at the springs, I noticed the passenger's side spring was red and the driver's (and the rest of the coil springs) are black. And the stop plate (#5) was inverted...so, someone has worked on it.
From what I learned, I need a car which has been driven often and maintained
Thank you all for reading and advising!
Anyway, onward with the search.
