I have a 84 GSL-SE that I purchased a little over 2 months ago. The car has an interesting history. If you look out on the U tube, this car was for sale back in 2013; it had 104,000 +/- on it. Looks like some guy in California bought, then sold it again this past spring having 110,000 +/- on it. So, yeah 6k miles in 5 years? I suppose it possible. Since having it, there have been lots of surprises with the maintenance this car had. P/S was shot, so I ripped that out and replaced with a manual rack. AC needs repair. The heater core is supposedly shot; heater is bypassed in the engine bay. The guy had a 160F thermostat. and the real head scratcher... he had 3 plugs of one type and 1 of another, hand tightened, not torqued and the idle speed was like 1500.

So, yeah, definately a project. I have it running pretty well now. Wish I had the PS, that manual steering is a real $%T^* . I have the whole setup sitting in a box, so perhaps someday.

Anyway, I am in El Paso, TX. If any of you are in the area, let me know!

If you would like to see the 5 year old vid :

 

 

Welcome!! That's a nice find for sure. Sounds like the guy treated the car poorly and had no clue what he was doing. Hoping to see more pics of the car and of the repairs!!
