seen a few with little puffs of smoke coming out of oil filler (when i take cap off)... is a little smoke- ok? Or deal breaker

any advice would be appreciated

Or am I crazy to think I can make one of these my DD?


Better choices for daily drivers than any thirty five year old car. You should also have a spare car if you have an old example..

To find a true low milage example is both hard and can be expensive.
