I have driven past this car for 2-3 months now, and finally stopped to look at it. It is in a fenced in field next to a used appliance store.
The VIN is 114 011 12 001616. It has a 4 cyl diesel engine, although it says 250C on trunk?
Key was broken off in ignition, but could use the piece that was left to start it. It had a pull knob for I think glow, with that round button thing that I can't currently remember what yall call it. (poor sentence structure there
)
Car was fairly clean inside and out, with some rust along driver door lower jam. Fairly new carpet, seats were OK. Headliner very good. Cool steering wheel and dash.
Why on God's green earth am I cursed with
SMOKE!? Good gravy, I just thought my '80 wagon smoked. First, this car idled at what seemed to be 1/4 to 1/3 throttle. WAY too fast. Little bitty IP, with throttle stuff on opposite side of valve cover on what appeared to be the intake. Seemed like some kind of butterfly shutoff. Old hat to yall, but new stuff for me. Oh, the smoke....Blackish gray, and about as think as I believe would be possible. Didn't drive it that day as time was short, but it went from drive to rev. without issues. (too bad, automatic)
What the heck kind of car is this? Seems like he said it was a 70 or 72, somewhere in there.
Pics are from my phone, so poor quality.
Started at $1500 when I walked up. $1000 bucks fairly quickly. Moved to 'make offer,we want it gone'.
Very presentable appearance wise, but good Lord at the smoke!
