I love the color, it's very rare but looks killer IMHO.
Be a pioneer, cut the fenders and strap on 37" tires... drive it to 500k and sell it for a profit to buy your next cruiser.
My only suggestion that goes against your friends advice is I would drain and replace the tranny fluid, at 320k I would not FLUSH the system, lots of the tranny grit and grime has found a nice place to lay low... stirring it up at 320k might be asking for trouble.
Otherwise, grab a manual, buy some tools and learn how to do the "extras" list. Or ask your buddy to let you help on a Saturday and pay him his fair price for his time.
