I just bought a 1988 240 DL for $350. When i was driving it home on the express way, I was mostly cruising, but when i gave it WOT, and got up to about 90 MPH, the heat gauge started getting near overheat. Otherwise while cruising around 60 mph it stayed in the medium range. Is this normal for a car of my vintage or is there something i should look at?
