Turbos were not put on them until '85. But the plan is to add one.
We got it out of a back yard..were it has sat since at least
'09..according to the sticker on the license plate. Grass was growing
up through the hood joints, tires flat, paint (red) desperately
needing a buffing out. But..it is all there. The one issue of
note...spark plugs were pulled and sitting on top of engine when we
opened the hood. So each jug has gotten 1.5 Oz of Kroil poured into it
and its sitting in the back yard waiting for us to try turning it over
with a breaker bar. We need a battery as well. But..the glass is
good all around, upholstery and seats are minty under the sheepskin
seat covers (real sheep skin) and there is 57,000 miles on the
odometer.
Now given that the trip meter would shear off the internal gears of
the odometer if zeroed while moving (and it shows some miles on the
trip meter)...we dont know if its actual miles or not. We suspect (and
were told) its actual miles. Original complaint was alleged to be an
electrical problem causing it to be parked..prior to the widows
husband passing away in 2010.
My buddy is a pro mechanic and its his car. It will be done right and
proper...Im looking forwards to driving it a few times. Even the
tires arent bad..though they need replacing as they have sat flat for
8+ years. They will do to get around town while fixing her up.
Its a manual tranny (wierd where the tranny is located...geeze ..and
its got the motor in the front.
One of my hobbies is restoring old sailboats...his is restoring old
cars/trucks...so it should be an interesting winter. (Grin)
