Bear Lake Cruiser
SILVER Star
Greetings everyone from the 40 and 60 world. I am moving into the market and I want to acquire a 100 series. I love the my 40 and my 60 but I need the 8 cylinders and some additional comfort for the old bones. I am looking at a couple in the Salt lake city area over the weekend before I hit the airport and don't have a ton of time to read through all the FAQ and other threads as I am on a working road trip.
Other than the usual things that somebody would look at on any vehicle when they go to purchase, are there some things on the 100 series specifically that should be asked about and verified? A particular year or manufacturing era that seems to have the best of all worlds? I see many concerns about the 90K timing belt and associated parts while in there on that.
My intentions would to use this more as a daily driver than my 40 and 60...nothing wrong with them but some power and an auto trans are nice for certain applications that the other cruisers can't provide.
Thanks in advance for your help.
