| Cranks? | Yes |
| Runs? | Not presently. Needs fuel system attention after all that sitting |
As of 1991, the main problem was running hot, particulary in slow or stopped traffic. The fuel gauge was somewhat flaky, and the dash had a crack and one of those plastic over-dash covers was installed. It used a bit of oil, perhaps 1/2 to 1 qt between 3000 mi changes. Other than that, it was getting me where I needed to go. I do have service records at least from the mid-80's on. In 1990-91 it was serviced by the Wizard of Z's in Riverside, CA -- a quality operation.
