Anyone want an '85 TD?

I actually drove this car (NOT my listing) and it is a very solid one.

I am not putting it in Ebay alert because it isn't fraudulent at all.

I'm going to watch it. My Boss is looking for one. And its not too far away from me. Tell me what you observed if you don't mind? What it needs? Blow by? Shifting?

Thanks for the heads up by the way.

Needs a good cleaning up. PO and current owner are both engineers and it ran great. Little to no blow by and shifting was right on the money. It's listed as 'parts only' to lower the listing fee. (Listing with a VIN and title costs more.)
