Easy to produce, can use it for heating, driving, farming, etc. And you can put the various ways of using diesel together into interesting combinations:

This one amuses me because I have a 2-cyl Yanmar diesel tractor for small utility work that happens to be a 17-HP like this Kubota engine. I like the glow plug operation too.

Here's a pic to view after the auction is over:

1. That isn't the original speedo. In 1980 to 1982 all US cars had to have a 85mph speedo By LAW.
2. That gray color isnt orginal, I dont think you could get a blue interior with that light eggshell gray.
3. The price is way too high, and it's been in a pretty good accident.

That is all.

I see gray overspray on this rubber boot.

Doh! I got my threads crossed or my cut-and-paste failed somehow. Wrong auction! I went back in fixed the link!

But I was checking out that 240D earlier....... Not to buy.

I've been looking for a nice W123 in the Boston area... and all E-Bay has to offer are these overpriced cars (remember the $18K 300D?)

anyway...
is this the same color?


BTW,
the car is pretty interesting... damn.. 17hp!!!
I wonder what it's like to drive...

HEY!

Is that car for sale? Its a euro car with a stick. I want in.

That euro car is white, this 240D mutant is an eggshell grey.

That's one ugggly car in the link, looks like a unfortunate combination of a Pacer and pure 80's styling.
