I understand the 240 euro vehicle was the first 617 powered vehicle in 74, but the first TURBO powered 617 was the 111 and the first production vehicle powered by the 617 TURBO was the 116 chassis 300SD right?
That was the first I was aware of in the US.

Thanks for the listings Roy, but if the engine I have turns out to be too far gone I will probably turn one of my other cars into an organ donor since both have low mileage freshened engines done my way by my favorite machinist,
