There were several folks in the service department that wanted to purchase the car, but I declined. It has only 67K miles on it and it is stored in the winter. Right now, there's a gas leak and the carb is wet, probably the same thing that happened 20 years ago when I had to tighten the screws on the carb top plate. I'll check it out one of these days, but I was looking in my tool box and I can't find my roundtoit. I still love that car! Dick - 84 Capri RS 5.0 |
