I know you've been putting it off, but I think it's about time for the first oil change!

A lot of those miles were when you were doing the medical deliveries?

She’s on her second repaint. Got a total restoration about a year and a half ago, but still the original engine.

Wow, amazing. My daily driver '86GT only has 260k on it, original engine running strong. But unfortunately mine LOOKS like a car with 260,000 miles. Great job keeping it up.

Whoa! Temp gauge in photo looks like you're running a little hot.

Not working. I’ve tried different senders, gauges, and confirmed it with a scanner. Temp is nominal.

Thanks man, God only knows how many miles are on the chassis, but the engine and suspension along with an entire range of components are up for grabs.
But it is just a hobby car so who cares anyways right?
