Its a 123 but I am not up on determining the year by sight. Suspect its a 78,79,80.

I would prefer a na diesel over the turbo so as not to have to mess with a trans and diff change also.

No particular attachment to the car, just thinking if its a $1500 fix it could be a clean (not great) car for under $2k.
