SAABs for less than scrap on both. One drives('85 900T 4dr, 5sp,
187k), one does not('86 900T 3dr, at, ?miles). They are from the
original owner and in Arizona. No rust, good tires, etc. The car
that drives has recently been parked due to water in the oil. I have
not been able to ask/determine the cause. The cars are 300+ miles
away. I can tow dolly the '86 but not a second car. I will need to
drive the '85. What can I do to keep the car from blowing up?

The plan:
drain & replace engine oil and coolant.
add standard 'leak seal' to coolant
loosen 'radiator' cap on the coolant reservior
drive easy & watch temp gauge
