Put a head gasket in this car and couldn't get it started. I expect injector pump timing, but I am not a diesel mechanic....136k, clear title, decent body and interior, good glass, decent tires...$400.


If you're close might be worth a look.

I tried to enlarge one of the photos of the rear script and couldn't make out anything.  The ad says 'Diesel' and that's all I posted :lol:

Besides, he put a telephone number in the ad so just give him a call.

I was hoping someone might grab this one and save it from some idiot who might buy it and either part it out (which isn't terrible in itself except the body doesn't look too bad) or try and do a gas conversion on it which would be a crying shame.
