Ok, I'll bite. I want the 'pink' 87. FL has a cert of destruction on it. Does anyone know if it can be rebuilt, and put back on the road in another state?

Mebee I should ask on the off topic.

Looks like that one's front fuel line that connects the fuel rails failed. Such a shame because that one is so easy to replace and it's like one of the first things you see when you open the hood...

That green 87S4 looks to be okay with a good interior. Maybe timing belt failure?

Well, I looked up the cert of destruction and it can't be reversed legally. Bummer, I wanted that pink one.

change all the rubber fuel lines.
search and you will find a lot of info on the fuel lines and a lot of cars burned.

And don't buy cheap fuel lines from Autozone, you need 30R9 not 30R7. Buy the rebuilt kit from Roger.

Rebuild/replace the:

Fuel Lines
Auto trans lines
Power Steering lines

Very important to do. While you're at it, may as well get the oil cooler lines rebuilt too, but the three sets above are the big fire risks.
