Thanks guys!
I'm gonna call him up and talk to him about what I saw tomorrow. I want to hear this sucker run.
Can you guys show me how the overflow container for the radiator is rigged up? Because the one there isn't connected but I think if I do connect it it would start up.
I did check the oil and it was dirty but full. I also checked under the car for any leaks or drops and there was nothing. I looked and it seemed like the transmission was a little wet with oil but who knows.
As for the interior, It looked good to me. The head liner was falling down and the radio was unhooked but that's no big deal. There's a sun roof as well. It's missing the window moldings for the rear windows so I don't know if that would result in leakage.
There's some ghetto audio gear in there as well, I'm thinking if I tell him to keep it he might drop the price. I don't have any use for subs or anything like that in a supra.
if indeed I do get this bad boy started what should I look for? I heard of the tell tale smoke from the exhaust pipe on start up.
What else should I look for? fluid leaks from under the hood? Any where specific? I should probably keep an eye on where I thought there was a valve cover leak.
Mirage - Thanks for the info!! if you can see in the picture the fan by the radiator says "87 Supra without turbo".
It's obviously a repaint, it looks like it was red in it's past life.
That dent would bondo up perfectly and the bumper could just get some rattle can.
any other opinions from anyone else?
If it runs I'm thinking of buying it and giving it some TLC that it needs. Supras are sentimental to me. Call me stupid but my pop had one, but too bad he wrecked and almost killed himself. I loved that car.
