I had both of my palomino 'tex '87s at the same time, the 300D was faded and pink, the 190Dt was a rich original palomino. I had bought them both used, both the same interior color originally, both the same model year. I would assume that the 300D being from Michigan, would've seen less sun than the 190Dt being from FL, but apparently not so. I had considered re-dying the pinkamino in my 300D, but looking closely at the un-faded 190Dt it was not originally a flat color, but more of a pebble-grain coloration, really an attractive color. It could still be re-dyed to richen the color, and would really turn back the clock on that interior. Vinyl is much easier to re-dye than leaher.

Well I did not get it. The DIL went into labor so I had to put off going back down Monday. Then she went back out and they sent her home but they scheduled to induce her today. So again I had to put it off and told him I would be down there Wednesday assuming all went well.

Well, this morning he emailed me and told me it had Sold Monday. So.... somethings are not meant to be. I'll keep looking.

I got a Grandson instead. No leaky head gasket on this one I don't think!

Ethan Carroll... 7 pounds 9 ounces. Healthy baby is seems. Momma is fine.

I have a feeling that one will leak a lot of fluids. Don't worry, it's normal.

The car would've been cheaper BTW, ...

True indeed.... :o

But... I am now free to pursue other leads. I think one passed by while I was diddling around with this guys. The other might even be better. The other is Polar White over Cream with mushroom interior. A 95 with 149K on it. Supposedly does not leak nor burn fluids of any kind and everything works perfectly... and all records are with this one he claims. Could this be a already done head gasket and wiring harness car? Let us see.... if its still there when I get up to see it that is...

It was disappointing on that other one... I had pretty much told him I was taking the car if the wiring harness checked out (as he said it was) and I was bringing the cash with me. But... I suspect he found a unknowing buyer that paid him closer to his asking before I got back down there. Oh well...
