Formerly a CA emissions car. Switched intake/exhaust manifold and turbo from Federal car. Starts, runs and drives great. The car was originally owned by horse stable in Southern CA and migrated to Eastern PA in 1999 or 2000. I bought the car in 2001. Since I have owned the car it has never been driven in winter and has been stored in a heated garage. There is sun fading on the roof but the rest of the car is presentable with a few minor blemishes around front wheel well. The jacking points and undercarriage are ROCK SOLID.

Interior is nice. Dash has cracks but there is a cover over it that the PO placed there. I never took it off. Drivers seat has a minor separation but still looks good. Everything works with the exception of the A/C. I replaced the compressor and drier but it quit working as it needs constant re-charging.

Car was dealer maintained until 110,000 miles. I have all other documentation for repairs. With the car goes the original turbo/air cleaner setup, original headlights and original wheels. I also have some neat stuff to go with it too. I have the documentation from the mileage badges as well as two brochures from 1985 showing the entire model line up as well as the diesels.

Some of the maintenance of PO:

new water pump
several trans fluid/filter changes
4 new shocks
5 new glow plugs

new thermostat

I am asking $4500 OBO.

The car currently has 316,xxx miles. As you can tell, I hardly drive it any more. I am looking to purchase another vehicle and this one should go. I would like to sell it to someone who will look after it like I did. I also have a Carfax from a few years ago laying around here somewhere.

The asking price is OR BEST OFFER. I realize it is a little high but this is my starting point and you will be getting a SOLID car for the money. Shoot me an email and we can talk a little more about the car and the price.

PLEASE, NO CRITICS.
