I gave it Klaus C's high RPM (Grandma drove it) tuneup followed by two oil changes. The noise is now gone. The previous owner of the car was told by a shop that it needed a new transmission as it would shudder under acceleration. Without looking the car over or driving it, I told the seller, "I'll be nice and offer you $1K" He took the offer and had it trucked home. I got lucky, the trans was fine... had a bad right front half shaft. I'm putting the new one in now. Yes, previous owner was going to have it hauled off to the junk yard.
