I've been looking around and have found a couple of 1987 Gl-10's, both seem pretty cheap. I was just wondering if there's anything specific I should check on them.

 

One has some faded paint, and the interior is probably a little rough, but it's a 224,000 mile car with a 30,000 mile motor, running and driving, needs exhaust.

 

The other one looks nicer, but has been parked for a couple years and doesn't run, guy says something about a carb, but I'm guessing he just doesn't know. and is $350 less than the other one.

the carbureted one would not be a gl-10, it would be spfi. check to see if the rotor is turning on the cheaper one. if you got it running, expect to do timing belts and engine seals if the car sat for too long.

 

otherwise the running and driving one is good to go.

Thought they didnt use Fuel Injection till 88

spfi was with gl10 for 1986 fwd, more 'upscale' than a carburetor

the carbureted one would not be a gl-10,

 

It could be an 85 4wd non-turbo. those were carbed.

 

Are either of these cars turbo? and if so how have they been treated? Have they had headgaskets done? Have they overheated?
