Do I detect some sarcasm?

I only have experience with my 300DT, so pointers on whether or not to even spend time on this one would be appreciated...
I particularly would prefer an SD for a second car, but as I am ditching the truck, would like a spare ride in any event. I assumed a clean-up and refit of the glow system would be high on the list, but so long as the engine has decent compression and minimal blowby I figured I could give it a try, and if anything attempt to get it running well and then sell it for a couple duckats.
Also, How little/much of this car could be used for parts for the 83?

Cheers,
-nB
