Good: Car runs well, shifts well, has plenty of power. No play in turbo. Tires are good. Brand new battery, radiator, water pump, coolant hoses.

Bad: CRACKED HEAD. Overheats. Small amount of rust at wheel well openings.

The car has 267k on it and is still registered and insured. This would make a great parts car or a fixer upper if you had a spare head. I've decided to cut my losses and move on.

Good dash, good colors, ... I have a good 162,000 mile #14 head, pressure and visually tested, back from the machine shop. If you're interested make me an offer (thinking $450?). You could be back on the road again for less than most anything comparable and you probably already know the rest of the car well.

I have a friend who also has an 87 300D and might be looking for a parts car. He lives in CT as well....sending him an email now to find out if he's interested.

You guys are killing me. babymog, that's a good deal and I may take you up on it. I really do have too many automotive irons in the fire to take that on.

He's interested. Where in CT are you?

Willington. About 25 min east of Hartford off 84

Perfect, he's in Manchester. I'll let you know if he wants it or not within the next few hours.


EDIT-Looks like it's a yes! PM sent

Bump. Still available as a whole.

I may be considering parting it out. Who needs a turbo?

Might be interested. I'd like to see a lot more pics if possible.

Thanks,
Bill

I'll grab some more pics tonight. Is there anything you would like to see in particular? I'll grab some honest shots of the rust around the fenders and the few dents in the rear. In case anyone is wondering, the roof rack that's mounted was off some car in the junkyard. It's really not the worst idea considering that the sunroof is seized like so many others.

Now that I think about it, I may possibly be justified in parting this car out. . .

With the warmest of regards,

Adam

Ok, car is officially open for parting out.

I don't mind shipping the turbo or the ip but I'm probably not interested in crating up a transmission. So, pm me with your needs and I'll update the thread with what has been claimed and is no longer available.

If anyone has objections to parting this out I will be forced to do the following:

1. Spend in excess of 20k restoring it to factory condition.

2. Post youtube video of said car being incinerated with the trunk full of priceless antiques and original impressionistic masterpieces.

Thanks!!

If anyone has any objections their post will be deleted anyways!
Regards, Eric
