Thread: So I got one

Just grease every nipple on the drive shafts and check them for excessive slop. At that mileage they should be in excellent order.

114k !
That’s a good find.

Nice find.
Put some grease on the front drive flanges, and fit some form of temperature monitor. I personally use the "engine watchdog" ones.

definitely nice find.(curious how much too, with such low klms)

As already said, coolant or head temp gauge, and also I'd recommend an EGT gauge too.

overheating kills them, check the radiator and water pump , belts as a hot summer is coming up

Thanks everyone. I'll check out temp monitors, I had read about them so will take your advice will do all belts while I'm at it.

Picked it up $3,500, bought it off the estate of the owner. It had not been driven much over the last few years due to the previous owners health.

Wow. Amazing find. I saw a similar estate car a while back. Had 40 odd thousand on it. Good price. As mentioned, go through the whole cooling system with a fine tooth comb. A good temperature gauge for coolant or head is a good idea. EGT probably ok but more so if you tweak it. I would say above all else is to fit a low coolant alarm. You can pick them up pretty cheap and easy to install. They are called engine saver. So go through cooling system and then fit low coolant alarm as a matter of priority. Then check all other fluids and grease etc. by other fluids i mean drivetrain stuff. Engine oil I assume you have obviously checked already.
