1984 300TD modified

My wife says I should get offers for my wagon before I decide to make it a daily driver.
I've got the guy who buys wagons in south florida coming this sunday, after I told him I wouldn't take less than $6K.

It's got bad paint. The interior has been changed to black cloth and seats are excellent. I had a bit of small rust on the drivers side roof drain near the hatch in an odd place- well above the antenna and none near it. Door bottoms have a touch of rust and near the passenger forward cowl below the front fender. I need a new water pump and the fog lights blow the fuse quickly. The turn signal stalk and flashers don't work. AC is not working- blower and heat are working fine.

The front brakes are from a GenII w126 so you have to run 15" rims (currently on gen II pancake rims the 15 hole style). With a Myna pump and intercooler, enlarged PC's and jethot style coated exhaust manifold (from a non egr engine) she runs 0-60 in 9 seconds flat. No rear muffler but it's not loud. Up front it's got the lowered springs which were sold some years back as a groups sale here.

If you want pics or know my story and would like to make a ballpark offer drop me a PM. No parts off the car will be sold as of now, either I fix and drive or sell. Car is in south Florida.

Hey William,

That's got to be the wagon that you drove with me to a few U-Pull-It's up in West Palm like 8 years ago. Fastest acceleration on a pre-85 Diesel I've ever seen. Just browsing here but I cannot believe you are selling. Good luck.
(Fix and keep) .

Austin

William ;

You're in a hard spot : the Wife wants it gone, do you follow her heart or yours ? .

My ex Wife hated anything I loved, it turned out she was terribly insecure .

My current Sweet cares not a whit about the jalopies I like to tinker with endlessly, she's also turned down over $10,000.00 cash for the '84 300TD I bought her .

Good luck man.

You've got to establish the ground rules BEFORE you get married: The cars and me are a package deal and that is not going to change!

Is that guy that buys wagons the same one that I just read about in the current issue of Grassroots Motorsports? (I've already misplaced the issue, but maybe you could ask him.)

Talking Marriage Facts

" You've got to establish the ground rules BEFORE you get married: The cars and me are a package deal and that is not going to change!" .

God knows I did, she lied and said fine, after 15 years she stopped the endless complaints and left, I don't miss her one bit .

When one is young one often doesn't realize others are not honest .

thank you!

The wagon is not being sold, and the wife is not angry at me about that either. Double good news. I'm spending the money to upgrade the wagon in many ways.

We had a awesome '82 china blue 300TD that was hers- but we had to sell it several years back. She doesn't want a different one and is happy with her daily driver now. This wagon is for me!
