That's way further than I'd care to send you.

There's a 190D at Pittsboro Ford. Ad says white, VIN says blue-black. I'd like to know what shape it's in, if the AC works, etc. I'm guessing rust is not an issue in NC.

190D, you ask? SD needs a pet

Thanks,
Sixto

I've got a show in Chapel Hill on Monday ('bout fifteen minutes from Pittsboro). Not sure how the day's gonna go, but if I have time to get down there, I'll take a look at it for you.

Now -- help me fix my leaky injection pump!!!

don't bet on THAT! rust builds up with all this moisture here.
several cars rust out from the inside!
inspection is NECESSARY!

Hey LUX, can you tell me more about the Bio Fuel co-op? Looking to get into the whole WVO etc thing.

Also VS Tech, still have the 79 for sale? I need a diesel for my 18 year old.

New to the area and just picked up a 1983 300DT. LOTS to learn about it. My First Benz.

Live in Fuquay, work on Ft Bragg.



Nice to see some other NCers here!!

Sixto -- PM me your number and an address so I can mapquest it. If I have the time to get there, I'll call you and describe it over the phone.
