Pending a successful inspection, I'd say that it looks like a good buy. I'd jump on it if i had the $$...

William, I guess you lucked out because every SD I've seen up in the Portland area has been over $3K for junk. I guess it all depends on the area. There's an '83 on ebay right now it looks fantastic in the listing but has over 271K miles on it and it has a buy it now price of over $4K so I imagine the reserve is probably about the same. I may call them for the heck of it to see if the reserve is more reasonable than their buy it now price.

I was actualy looking for a parts car as the tranny went on my other 81 SD. It was the first day it had been in the Eugene Register Guard (on a Sunday) and when I called and asked about it the owner said it had been Grauge kept and was very clean.I hustled into Eugene (60 miles) and could not belive my eyes.

Eugene seems to be a good place to pick up 240's 300D's and SD's.theres a SD listed now
for $950, you can access the Register classifieds online........

just checked paper the car is still listed but of course might have been sold as they are usaly listed for a week...... 82 300 Sd good shape $950 541 953 9751
