Oddball stuff (well, at least odd for the USA) turns up pretty regularly here on the west coast. I have seen a Mitsubishi pickup turbo diesel, a Nissan pickup diesel, a Maxima diesel, a BMW diesel, one of these, a few Pugs, a couple diesel Volvos a bunch of Caddys and like a million 300Ds at the junkyard by my house, all in the last year... and that's just the diesel exotic stuff.So this stuff is out there, and hopefully some of it's still alive.

I have missed 2 of the TD Lincolns in the Seattle area in the past couple of years. Both had air suspension problem.In addition to my VW diesel stuff, I have a '82 Volvo diesel wagon (for sale), and Audi 5000TD, 3 Turbo Diesel Rangers plus a TD parts Ranger and an '86 F-350 dually with a 7.3 & a Banks Turbo kit. I have also owned a 504 TD wagon, an '84 Tempo diesel, and a slew of 5.7 diesel GM cars, including 2 diesel Toronados, a diesel Eldo, a Cutlas Cierra (FWD) and a Cutlas Supreme (RWD) both with V6 diesels. Also a small Caddy with a 4.2 V8 "baby" diesel, as well. The RWD Cutlas got 38 mpg on the highway and had under 50K on the clock. I was a huge moron to have sold it.Its an addiction.
I drove one of those Lincoln Mark VIIs about 10 years ago when there was one for sale for about $1000. I wasn't particularly impressed, but I'll bet the BMW 524TD would be a different story. I remember seeing one of those too for $700 about 5 years ago, but by then I was buried in MBs.... Problem with either was they only came with ZF slushboxs
