If you're fast and don't mind putting in a headgasket and water pump (engine
doesn't seem to be harmed) have I got a deal for you. Seriously, the
$800-$1200 cost of having the work done is almost as much as the car is worth
on the market, and we can't tackle it ourselves any more. It is charcoal
(black with gold flecks) gray interior, in generally good shape. We've never
had to do any major work on it. It is in Solana Beach, CA. Can't talk money
now. I'm too emotional about it. Hadn't read your other post when I wrote
this, but the original symptom seems pretty much the same as ours, except we
stopped the car immedately and cooled it down with the motor running. After
it had cooled down a bit, the engine died and we couldn't restart it. There
was water everywhere and that probably accounts for the engine dying. The
mechanic got it started after we left it with him.
