I have an old 84 GS in a garage in NJ. It has some damage to the front end from hitting 2 deer (only $300 in parts, not bad for 2 deer) and a lost title. I put it on ebay as a parts/race project. Some guy in Nebraska, bought it then wouldn't pay cause he didn't read that it was in NJ (which it plainly stated in the title.)

Fennix,
1)Give it the ATF Treatment,
then wait 2 days while you do the rest of this list
2) clean out the tank (it has a plug)
3) Replace Fuel Filter
4) Put Fresh gas in,
5) Disconnect the catalytic converter
6) Start her up, and get her smokin *** on a highway while you burn that ATF out.
7) Put new spark plugs in
8) Enjoy your new car.
