Wonder why they haven't run it down the aisle at one of the big auctions? Could it be overpriced? Or flawed?
I know, too suspicious.

I'd run her all summer long; but only on filtered & dewatered D2 with cetane booster added. And 3k synthetic oil changes

I suspect it would leak like a sieve on synthetic oil.

Its to much, and what looks like a none original color. I'd want a gas one, the diesel is to slow.

I want Luck's SSK that he drove all over Europe with during the war.

We're assuming that 50k is pocket change here...
