Things to address:
• AC kicks on but air is not cold. Needs charged? I found one can of R-12 I was going to try but haven't done it.
• Dash binnacle has small cracks on the top.
• Few drips from transmission to motor connection area. It's not bad, you'll see it on the ground if the car sits in one spot for a long time.
• Automatic door locks aren't working.
• Idle "hunts" when it's cold (sometimes). When it warms up it goes away.
