That's not an oil leak. That's the automatic oil change and chassis protection feature.

Please fix it up nice and make a thread about it :kiddo:

I'm planning on it being a project car aimed at teaching me more than just changing oil, with the goal of making it a stock(ish) autocross fun toy.

Did you check the inner wheel wells? Underneath the storage bins.

Agreed there. I felt terrified when I was talking to a tow truck driver once about the RX-8 and he insisted it had a 3.0L V6, and would hear nothing about the 1.3L rotary.

Then he towed my car away. :gonk:

I would probably buy this and just have it sitting in my driveway looking pretty, would be a grand well spent.

Seriously though, I assume the average cost of 'unknown problem' 911 restoration is probably in the many thousands.

I owned a 300td before my present car, and it was a blast. It had tons of mileage but it looked great on the inside. However, rust COVERED the bottom and some of the sides, so bad that the rear passenger could drop things right down between their legs and have it fall under the car. I sold mine after doing a little damage and was barely able to get 500. If the price is that low, its because the amount of rust I'm sure. You can even see the floorboards hanging out under the car just as mine had from rusting away.

That photo of the Arrow's speedo reminds me, why the hell did they not have odometers that rolled over at 100k miles for so long? Was there a specific reason the manufacturers avoided adding another number?

Were they just not expected to live that long? I don't know, I'm wondering the same thing myself. The 55mph speedo was a law from the mid-70's up until '86/87 or so, but the 5 digit odometer escapes me. I remember Toyota commercials from the mid-late 80's touting how many 100k miles they had, I just figured it was an advertising gimmick.

Then again, my parents traded in cars every 5/6 years because they simply rusted or failed mechanically and the cost to repair was greater than the trade-in value. A domestic car hitting the 6'th digit was a thing to behold unless you had some mechanical savvy 30 years ago....

I hate those people, even if it's an outrageous price post it. At least then i can offer you something close to it if i'm interested. I am not going fishing for what you think it's worth and i don't want to offend you with a lowball offer. It's so much better if you list a starting point so i can tell if you're a lunatic who thinks you're sitting on a golden egg laying goose.
