There have been several inquiries (very reasonable) concerning the head gasket. Obviously we have some very knowledgeable watchers who are aware of this very common issue with this model engine. I am told that the original gaskets were made from materials (since upgraded) which will degrade over time, and miles. I have owned Miss Blondie since October of 2014 and she has been a delightful fair weather daily driver. In 2017, my technician noticed a "developing" oil leak at the rear cylinder head, probably related to the gasket. He did not at that time, or now, recommend a head gasket replacement. He instead recommended monitoring it and we have done so for four years with no change or deterioration. I have checked the expansion tank (this morning) and there is not a trace of oil in the tank. The discoloration of the tank itself I put down to antifreeze with color used over the years causing the tank to look reddish. Will the head gasket need replacement at some point in the future. Probably. But again probably not for many more miles. (A fried of mine had the twin of Miss Blondie and replaced the gasket at 80k.) I hope this addressed the inquiries.
No remotes. Three keys. No remotes back then.. no exhaust leaks. Checked regularly No excess wear or damage to steering wheel. Both the rear bumper and grill imperfections fully disclosed in photos. We tried our best to take tons of photos for full disclosure. Thanks for the inquiries
top hydraulics work fine. Not needed service. A/C blows ice cold.
head gasket and wiring harness original. No issues. No issues with tranny.
Pinstripes professionally painted. All service records.
Warning lights work as far as I can tell. Never a problem with those systems. Seat belt warning buzzer works.
I agree the photo shoot should have included underside but we did not have a lift close by. I took some today with my iPhone and sent to mbmarket. Just shooting from my garage floor so very close shots.
