I stopped by and saw it on Friday, although no one was there.

Looks nice, interior nice (brown/tan interior--not the real light 
tan/beige, a more medium color) no visible damage inside or outside, 
exterior nice with "Synchro" pinstriping. Nice alloy wheels!

BUT:
1) oil sludge/film (not thick) on the bottom (back bottom, where the 
muffler is) of the engine(may not be a problem, oil level was fine, this 
is probably from crankcase vent)
and
2) coolant tank was empty :-(  (this is the license plate tank--I 
couldn't see the other one). I didn't see any coolant stains on the 
heads, though. maybe it's just a leak in a hose or the radiator, or just 
time to fill it, but the tank was dry--I looked inside.

Sorry, no one was there so I couldn't start it up or look further at the 
engine. But I live only a mile form this place, and I pass it every day 
on the way home, so I should be able to catch someone there. They don't 
keep very regular hours...
