The car obviously has problems and a down side. I like the gas perfor4mance and the five speed. The body looks decent for an 86 in Michigan that is purported to be California car. That dent by the window looks bad, but I can"t find it on the pictures that show the side of the car. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough. What do you think might be the cause of the loud tick. Sounds like a head gasket to me, yet he said a friend who was a tech looked at it and said it needs a head job. Things really don't add up. Same with the power steering. He says it worked when parked in 2002. Did the fluid leak out. Pump seals deteriorate? Who knows. Maybe the belt is broken. He says he jumped it and got it fired up after sitting 6 years. That is pretty good I think. Tell me what you think. Jim
