Dang Tyler!!! What a nice find and a terrific deal! Man, you and Dan!
And let me please be courteous to the numb-nuts all deriding the performance of the NA OM617: have you driven one? My 1980 NA wagon was an awesome highway car, easily cruising up to about 80-85 or so. Sure, the turbo is quicker, but it isn't enough of a deal killer to be significant. And actually has much better 0-40 umph.
Rear end of the wagon appeared to be sitting up nicely. I loved my '80 wagon. Oh, do you have ACCII or ACCIII? 1980 was a transition year and some had the evil servo and some didn't. My '80 had a vin of WDB12319012020102, so the ACCIII introduction was sometime prior to that. {for some reason I can remember that vin # but not what I had for lunch. }
Can't wait to see the pics after cleaning. Good job!
And since we have officially met and all, if you start the TDT thing I will have to personally make a trip up to the henner-lands and deal with the situation......
Nice car!
