Check out this Ebay SDL

Oh boy!

The cooling system works excellent and the thermostat keeps the gauge in the right spot all the time. My wife and I left on a trip for one month (for our anniversary) and when we returned I popped the hood and opened the radiator cap, and to my surprise a huge burst of pressure came out. I have never seen such a tight cooling system. None of my American made cars are like that. They loose their pressure after a day or so, but this kept it even after a month of sitting. The coolant is also very clear and in good shape. There are no issues here at all.

I also like the comment he makes about the dealer replacing the airbag in 1987. That sticker is the date teh dealer was SUPPOSED TO do it.....

Maybe someone told him that pressure in the cooling system days after the car was run is not a good thing. Sounds like a head gasket or the worst.
