Tons of people in cali! Must be :P The clublexus scene is pretty big down there. Awesome find! Good luck with your build and restoration of that beast. Perfect candidate for a rebuild and turbo kit.

Actually I do get a little white smoke until the car warms up. Its not burning any coolant so I have always just assumed it is my bad catalytic converters.
