I don't see any problem here with your car.

The 850 is an absolutely phenomenal engine. Much work went into the design.

For $2000, i'd definately buy the car you described. Should run long enough to get your money out of it, and if something major does go wrong or need to be addressed down the road, you can just drop the car off at a junkyard.

If you don't plan on driving it after, just collect and want to maintain resale value, it seems acceptable to me

Maybe I'm not as smart as i think I am. Started the F-150 a while ago. Man It made a lifter racket, like I've never heard it do. Only ran it 10 min on idle so I doubt the oil even got to room temp. Just long enough for the t-stat to crack open. It's about 74 deg today. Rotella 15W-40 I got on...

^ just be glad to have those urges under control

Is this car dead yet? (I doubt it)

It's 20 years old. Tear into thing and don't be afraid of it.

Cheek swabs? never heard of that. At the rare checkpoints here, they just talk to you at your window for a little bit and send you on your way if you seem fine. They would never take the time to breathalyze everyone.

I liked the video.

I've walked out of the [censored] chain stores i.e. Autozone, etc with the wrong part from them more often than ordering from RockAuto.

Yes. If you've been changing it every 5,000 for the last 60,000 miles, it's clean enough.

I haven't kept to date on mowers, but maybe 15 years ago, Dixon mowers were the bee's knees. I have no reason to not believe otherwise today. I"m sure it will be extremely durable and serviceable for whatever you plan on using it for. Haven't mowed with one in years to be able to compare how...

The mower won't care. I have the same engine in a Cub Cadet for what it's worth.
