Subject:FS Soon '86 GL

Hi,

We will have our '86 GL up for sale soon. It is gold and has tan int.
The body has its fair share of scrapes and the right rear corner is
kinda crunched. The power steering rack leaks bad, we have been driving
it as a manual steering rack for about a year. The right head has some
drips. Exaust is patchable, but overall shot. AC was cold last year but
did not cool off much when I tested it this year.Clock says about 160K.

The entire engine including electrics was supposed to have been replaced
around 80K. New water pump about 150K.  It has a new clutch and runs
pretty good. I have no problem getting up to speed or maintaining 70-75
mph on the highway.The brakes work fine and the tires have decent tread.

Although this is not one for the showroom, it will get you from here to
there. We live in SE KS, if anyone is interested please let me know. I
am asking $950. A picture can be seen at
