I felt like taking a road trip today so I checked out this 84 300D. 295K, runs good, but its a project car, i was looking for something like this, im not sure if i want it or not so you guys can take a look.

Problems:
- Small oil leak (what diesel dosent have this)
- Trans pan leaks
- Needs ignition switch
- He rigged the glowplug system cause the timer stopped working, he said water got in the glowplug box, so I think its a corroded relay in there.
- Needs a good interior cleaning
- Left front wheel bearing
- Needs radio
Good things:
- Starts up fast
- Goes into gear quick and shifts good
- Exterior looks good, had quality repaid several years ago
- NO RUST WHAT SO EVER!!
I think it can be had for $300.00
On my way I had some fun with the 300D on 287 tonight,
