Hi,, new here,,, the above boat came up on an internet sale site near me,, I'm a sucker for big boats, (63 coupe deville, 73 eldo covert and 76 mark 4)
engine wise,,,,, what is the availability and accessibility to engine, transmission, electric parts on this model 300,, its a 6 cylinder in the car,
do these have alternators, or generators,, are they 6 volt or 12 volt,,, what would be the most likely thing to look for if it get over and look at it,, what should i be looking for as a big red flag, other than old oil everywytere? are gaskets, hoses, fittings typically available....?
I have been fooling with the above cars as a new, 55 plus yo taking on a new hobby for about 5 years, so i have lots to learn and the only way i know how is to ask what to look for,, seems each generation of engine decades brings on new things to look for and be award of..any thoughts would be appreciated,,,
oh,, i like to drive my cars,, not sit them in garage and polish them,,
