85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - E308L - 05-20-2015
I need to sell this car because I'm moving or I wouldn't be considering this at all.
I got it with a trashed auto, began a 5 speed swap, ran out of time, retrofitted the 4 speed and haven't completely finished.
Details:
has 240k miles on original OM617 turbo
rebuilt turbo with new compressor wheel and balanced rotating assembly (recreceipt on file)
78 non egr intake and exhaust manifolds installed as well as non recirculating turbo compressor housing
erg system, trap oxidizer, auto trans and associated vacuum crap is all removed
716.210 4 speed on custom fabricated crossmember with factory rubber mount
OM616 flywheel resurfaced and match balanced to original auto flywheel (receipt on file)
New Sachs clutch, new OEM master and slave cylinders, plumbed with new copper tube, brass fittings, and braided stainless flex hose
SLS control valve just rebuilt with OEM kit including new pistons, springs and check ball. SLS system refilled with Febi brand OE spec fluid and operating normally
Exhaust is a half inch flange, .065x3"od 304 stainless sanitary tube. JusJust a downpipe and turndown for now but the rest of the parts are there for a complete system to rear bumper In all 304ss
car has minor collision damage at front driver to grill, headlight and core support, can easily pull out sheetmetal and replace affected parts
Im sure there's more im forgetting, all questions welcome. I need to sell asap, asking $3000 as is. I dont have time to complete the project right now.

I should add that the driveshaft is cut and butt welded as a temporary solution. I drive it around town but not safe for freeway speeds.
Clean title in my name on non op no fees or bs

Super nice downpipe. Looks like you have a positioner.
RE: 85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - E308L - 05-25-2015
No positioner, Im a welder by trade. Thank you for the compliment.
On another note, price is negotiable, I really need to sell this car asap!!!!

RE: 85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - E308L - 07-07-2015
I have the black rubber strip for rear bumper, it was sagging so I removed it before losing it.
Reduced to $2750, open to offers no trades please
RE: 85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - atypicalguy - 07-12-2015
Where do you get the sanitary tubing?
RE: 85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - E308L - 07-12-2015
I get it at work, I'm a process pipe welder and I weld sanitary tube/stainless pipe and structural everyday. I get stainless drops and scrap often. You can contact a local pipe supplier and ask about sanitary tube but be ready for some sticker shock. The 4" .065" wall I have for my cummins is over $25/ft to buy retail.
RE: 85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - E308L - 07-21-2015
Seriously, not a bit of interest at all huh? Did I mention price is negotiable?
RE: 85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - MFSuper90 - 07-22-2015
I'd be kinda interested, but I live wayyyy to far away to consider it.
RE: 85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - atypicalguy - 07-22-2015
Oh it looks nice. I am in LA. I already drive an 85 wagon with 189k though. Thanks for info on the pipe. If I needed a car I would buy it.
RE: 85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - SurfRodder - 07-23-2015
Is that you Nate?
I would definitely be interested in this but I have WAY too many projects right now. Where are you moving to?
Josh
RE: 85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - E308L - 07-28-2015
Hey Josh!
Yeah its me. Like I said above I dont want to sell at all but I have no time and wont have space....
That 4 speed turned out to be just fine, I put around town in the wagon sometimes and never an issue.
My family and I are moving to Magalia near Paradise. I don't think I'd survive another year in the valley if I had to!!
RE: 85 300TD 4speed for sale in ca - SurfRodder - 07-29-2015
Awesome Brother...thats a nice part of the state! I was just up around those parts (near Yuba) on the way to Portland to pick up an OM606 a few weeks back. Again, I hope you can find a buyer, looks like a nice wagon and you've done some great work...If I had the room I would swap the remaining good parts off my w123 and run it. I've always loved the wagons.

(07-28-2015, 01:14 AM)E308L I told a guy about your car. He says to call or text him in the mid morning to afternoon. He's a serious buyer if he likes what he sees. Your car looks good so..... His number is in your private messages. His name is Clint
