There is also An oil expansion take, i think it is about 6" diameter 15" length hose runs to oil cooler/filter juction, 3/4" hose runs to a open/close lever then there is a pressure gauge on the tank.
Whats this for oil expansion?
Looks like a pretty high revving engine here

Very happy with the car. The engine is Very healthy.

Here is a copy of the Inspection I had done on it. Click photos.

Their report says you have an airbag and a 4.4 liter engine! It does make their product suspect but just sending someone out to it before buying to validate the condition as described is a good thing.

Nice car!
