There is no “expected life” for injectors but it's clear that some cars need new injectors earlier than previously. Your mechanical fuel-injection system is quite different to today's set-ups.

There is no "expected life" of injectors as such, but it's clear that some cars are needing new injectors earlier than in past times. Your mechanical fuel-injection system is quite different to today's systems.

IT'S difficult to put a value on the car without seeing it, but your description of the condition as reasonable and the lack of a roadworthy check doesn't fill me with confidence. Values range from $1500 for a basket case to $6500 for a show car, so I reckon your car might be somewhere in the middle, about $3000.
