Re: What is it with me and bum 'roccos???
I bought my '84 4 months ago for $400. Put a new radiator in it, new
exhaust from the cat back, and some new tires for winter. Runs absolutely
fine. I donšt know what your '84 probs are since you only talked about the
81, and of course who can really tell what the previous owner did. It'll be
ok :-)
Whats the mileage on your '84? Mine has 158,xxx.
