My repair shop was happy with it, and there is no blue smoke or engine leaks that I\u2019ve noticed. It appears that the engine internals are fine. I did add oil since I\u2019ve had it, but I didn\u2019t record the mileage.\nThe odometer shows 45,000 miles, which can\u2019t be verified, but given the overall condition of the rest of the car, I think the mileage could be correct. If it\u2019s actually more, the car was well cared for and not from Chicago, where I found it.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1698595423, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 12828211, "authorName": "Davey", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/davey/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "This was my wife's dream car for many years but she wanted me to put a V8 in it and AC.
