The car is mobile. I think it was driven to the garage. I will see if i can do a coasting test. How fast do you need to be going to hear the hum? I'm wondering if this can be done in the parking lot.

Is there any point in checking the battery voltage. The seller claims it's fine as far as he knows. He works for the co-op that is selling it. I trust that his info is good because for that price they are just trying to cut their losses and he has no personal interest in the sale other than getting it out of his hair.

Your site is a wealth of info and fascinating. Nice work.

I think we will buy it. At $1500, we could part it out and not loose our shirts if it goes sideways.
