OOps!  It is an 84.  It has the fold-down rear seat etc. and the tranny's
fine.  Motor was shut down quickly after the 'white smoke' was seen.  It
still turns over fine, but oil is in the coolant.  123k miles I believe,
diff. motor installed at 90k.  I looked at it last summer and the owner is
now very anxious to sell.  I am just helpin him out--no monetary interest
on my part.  It may have minor seam rust, but I don't recall.  I can look
into it more if anyone is interested in it, or the others I previously
posted about.  This 84 would have to be towed.
