you'd have to take the wagon head for the hydraulic pump and all the other hoopla.

Ironically, Im trying to eliminate the SLS from my 85 wagon!

Nice score! Those are ronals right? they look really good in gold, I thought they only came in black. They look in great condition. I want a set.

engine was replaces at 500k wiht a good one with
good compression i was told, he drove it 100k and parked it for few years till now


the headlight switch was on when i got there,
wonder why it didnt start for him, plus dirty connections

should just swap the engine out, SLS would be sweet on an D

he claims to have put 4k into the rear before parking it, only needs 1 hydro line

shame not to use it

RE: 85 300D TD Wagon
cant find ronal or any other name on the outside lips
on the inside groves there are a bunch of random numbers


its more stubby looking, so i think its an american raceing rim that saleen used back in the day

American Racing 5-spoke
The 5-spoke was phased-in in 1989, and used thru 1991. Ronal made a similar wheel, but it was not used by Saleen. The fronts are 16x7 with 4-3/8" backspace (10mm offset), while the rears have 5-3/4" backspacing (32mm offset). There were a variety of colors used - white, gray, gold, etc. The 5-spoke was also available in standard Mustang fitments, which had a more deep-dish appearance.

RE: 85 300D TD Wagon
it has a AHI 15x moulded into the rim

there are 2 other smaller number that were stamped that need more cleaning to see
