They took off the valve cover and did a compression test at G.A.S.....they said it has a cracked piston.....or so they claim. They're not exactly known for awesome service......I suppose we'll take the head off and have a look see...no point not to....maybe its just a badly blown head gasket?

Either way, the price was right, and we'll get it on the road again.

And to think, we almost bought a less-than-mint (no where near like this car) 240 on Tuesday for over 3x the price! Wshew! This thing will ROCK when its finished.


I don't remember anything about a "finder's fee"
