Thanks. Overall the car is amazing. The paint needs some restoration, as there are lots of scratches. will see what i can do about that. The crazy thing is that i think the engine has been replaced with a NEW unit very recently. The trans looks to be rebuilt. The engine is so clean inside and underneath, in places that 214k would have oil, grime and crap caked everywhere. This things is shiny metal new. I am amazed. I have not seen an engine this clean, and this is not a wash bay hose-down type of clean.

The trans has markings on it which makes me thing it was as rebuilt sitting on a shelf and then installed. or repaired and written on it with a paint pen. Have not seen this on any transmissions on original units.

I will take pictures in the morning.
