What kind of problems is it having? What do you want to know about it? Is it an auto or manual?

the mach 460 was always a piece of crap, I replaced two of them before I said screw it and went after market, besides the speakers respond better to aftermarket units anyway. now rip out that old motor and slap a 5.0 in that puppy, engine problems solved

Welcome to MF. Oil in the coolant meant a cracked head for a toyota of mine a few yrs back
