Did an M117 come filled with synthetic oil from the factory, back in 1988?
I am thinking synthetic was not all that common then and it was substantially
more expensive than conventional oil, so there is a decent chance it did not
get synthetic oil at least for part of its life. But I don't
I don't know about the aluminum block M117s, but the iron block ones mostly
just suffer from the intake rubber bits getting hard and leaking. It won't

Good point. In reality, would it be unrealistic to think that any car with
nearly 300k on the clock would have that sort of value unless it was some sort
of unicorn?

You think people post ads having an "honest" mistaken or emotional idea what
the car is worth, or they do know its real value but are hoping to find a
