2G alt. No bulb on the hood light. Only passenger side exterior shots. Other than that, it looks great and well maintained. The Jasper rebuilt engine may or may not be a strike against it depending on what you think about Jasper engines.

Thanks for the compliment. It has been garaged its entire life. It was only a rental for the 1st year of its life and for 14K miles, after that it was transferred to the dealer where my father purchased it in '91. The engine has been running fine, no issues other than the PCV re-route that Jasper recommended as a fix from oil fouling the #4 and #8 cylinders discussed here:

Hmm... I didn't think of this before, wouldn't an M75 VIN be an LS?
My GS in an M74 and my LS is an M75. If M75 is indeed an LS, then the ad in the first post of this thread would be for an LS not a GS.

That would also mean the ad posted today in post 17 would be an LS, which the ad says it is. It's a rather low optioned LS though. No ditch lights, steel wheels with hubcaps that I assume are a lower end option (I don't actually know so could be wrong), no power antenna, no premium sound, manual heat/ac controls, and according to the seller's description it only has power driver's seat.

As for the prices, I can only speculate what I might do given hypothetical monetary circumstances.
I might go for the '91 for $2k or maybe $2500. For the '90... I'm too cheap to even imagine what I might offer for that, but I can't see myself ever spending $8k on a box panther unless I had more money than I knew what to do with.

Edit: Oh, the seller of the '91 is a member here. We don't have to wonder what options it has, we can ask. By the way, I am in no position to by any car, not even another sub $1K DD.

I remember when you posted about this re-route, I really ought to read through the attachment and perform this re-route on the summer DD.

Oddly enough, the 88 I had never fouled plugs.

So is that the reason why when i change spark pulgs there oil on them and sometimes in the tb or tb intake tube

[sly]

yup

[Elias]

yup

I need to find the link of this and read up on it i dought it but maybe that would help with the oil leak too

Replacing the gaskets fixes oil leaks. I ended up biting the cash bullet and had a shop do that. my 88 didn't leak any more when I sold it.
