Kursplat, That's terrific advise! Thanks. I do know that the 3 whitewalls have what appears to be dry rot (cracks) and I would have to get a new set of four. I have a good local mechanic and he's agreed to take a look and let me know what it'll need. For now, I just want it to be road-worthy and safe. The brake lights and the radio aren't working, though the owner said they were both working recently.
I believe the owner said the engine was rebuilt - is there a good way to tell what it is? The blower that comes out of the top of the dash is working, but the A/C doesn't seem to be working. Being in Colorado, that's not much of a problem.
Any idea how much a trans rebuild is? I'm pretty handy and have a great set of tools, along with garage space - then there's Youtube!
I'm really glad I found this forum! Thanks again!
