Hehehe,

Guy has a 91 245, 230K on the clock. The water pump failed, he overheated it and has it towed to a machine shop. He gets the head rebuilt, puts in a new water pump and timing belt, reinstalls it all but finds water leaking out somewhere near the back of the head. He's frustrated, has to get out of town, and gives up. Do I want it for $300? An hour later I had a title in my name and new plates for the thing.

Went back and found some sort of pipe thread hole in the back of the head under #4 intake runner wide open. Put a nipple in there and a hose and plugged it with a bolt and hose clamp and drove it home. It's still got some issues but it drives.

Interior is blue leather and is perfect. Paint is good with a few parking lot dings. Valves are a little rattly (probably not adjusted after rebuild), OD doesn't work. The check engine light is on but I haven't checked the codes yet. It's got the ultra rare armrest with cupholders, a third seat, and came with a good Pioneer cassette unit in the dash. Check it out.
