Thanks BigJim for the reply. you're right... I would rather have a '91+, but this one is available....
I spoke with the owners son this morning and have a little more information:

It was originally purchaed by them, used, to be used for deer hunting. As far as he knows, it has mostly highway miles on it.

Total mileage is about 60,000 he thought and mileage on the rebuilt motor is about 100. He apparently ran it out of gas trying to start it this past weekend and it hasn't run since. He only had a few hours to work on it though. Would this have done anything bad to the computer controlled carb?

He says he sprayed some "prestart" (ether, I assume) in it and it ran for a few minutes 'till it ran out of fuel. Then he burned out the starter and perhaps the battery before he realized it was out of gas. By then it was time for him to make the 300 mile trip home.

I'll probably go to see it next weekend. It's in Southern California (Riverside, CA) and I'm about 350 miles north (Bishop, CA).

Another stupid question...... with the trans and transfer case in neutral, can I tow this vehicle 350 miles with all four wheels on the ground? The owner mentioned that you needed to leave the ignition on when doing this.... I thought you only needed to do this if you had an automatic trans? I can probably borrow my neighbors car trailer to get it home if necessary.

He wants $3,500 for it, but the more I speak with him about it, the worse condition it sounds. I'm thinking about offering $3,000 for it, since he has about that much in the rebuilt motor and the paint is so-so.

Thanks again for letting me tap into your knowledge!
