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

Jim -- did you go get the car yet? Heck, you ought to have a head or two you could install, no? Seems like a great car for someone like you with access to parts. Seller seemed up-front about it, for the most part; hope it turns out to be a good purchase for you!
