I understand as somebody mentioned that these are 40 year old cars and issues are expected 100% but non-disclosure to broken studs is a big issue . I have no idea if or why the buyer was not made aware . I did ask on the listing if the studs had been updated and the selling dealer mentioned that the comp/leak down #s were good .Buyers have to do their homework .

Maybe the owner didn't tell the dealer? Not every dealer has a mechanic or gives a car a real thorough PPI before listing it. Or if they are selling on consignment, they often go off of what the owner tells them.
