Car looks spectacular for the amount of mileage!

I used stop leak in my '95 Ford Windstar years ago and it helped for a while. Eventually though, I was loosing coolant so much that I had to keep a jug in the backseat and add some every couple of days. At the end of its life, the car would overheat randomly and the cause of death was massive rod knock.

I still have 4 bottles Of Bars stop leak from years ago. It does a great job stopping leaks but also can do a number on the waterpump as well as the thermostat. I'd keep on eye on it if I were you.

WOW! Doesn't really show the mileage [based on pics] and the interior is wicked, love the red/maroon wood in these things!
