I just picked up an 86 GT. The guy told me it overheated, blew a head gasket and was gushing antifreeze. It has not been on the road since 2005. I got it fired up and topped off the radiator. It was half full.
I ran it for almost an hour without the radiator cap. It smoked a bit until it warmed up but t cleared up. No signs of any water leaks. Oil looks fine. Radiator was replaced some time ago. I guess I should pull the plugs and check them. I will have to try the cooling system under pressure.
Any suggestions?
Car has 130k miles and mostly original right down the factory exhaust.
