Well, this part of the post is a very true statement. Half that price would still need to be a nice clean car to justify that cash.

I'm not so sure I agree with this part of the post, no offense to ddh. First, folks act like our turbo 300D's are rocket ships. Any car that can have it's doors blown off by the wife's Toyota van is no rocket.
The turbo is faster than the NA, but having said that, the NA is far far from not working in modern traffic. I also had no problems blowing down the highway in the 70's or 80's. It is a smooth, well performing power plant.
Don't fear the NA 617. Promise.....
