Larry,
With a little luck, Unisys has provided you with a browser. A buddy of
mine used to work at Tredriffren, PA (sp?) , we just called it Treddy,
and he had a browser.
That said, point yours to:
http://www.vtr.org/TR6/TR6-buying.html
When reading the buyers guide, pay attention to the part about the rear
trailing arms mount. This is probably the most common MAJOR unforseen
problems.
As to the removal of the air injection, it means very little to
performance/reliability, probably runs better without it if it was tuned
to run without it! But, if your state requires it to be there, and you
don't see it, it can be tricky to get piece the smog system back
together. Then you have to pass emissions tests. Not impossible, just
a pain.
My $.02 worth, if the body is in good shape, but the mechanicals are
not, not a big problem. If the body has a severe accident history, was
subject to a lousy repaint, or has rust on the underside, beware!
The price list shown on the guide is pretty accurate, IMHO.
Good luck, wear clother you don't mind getting dirty, and have fun!
