Like I said.....
You can have my battered but beloved Mercedes Diesel Sport Coupe after you pry my cold dead fingers off the steering wheel...
(or whatever part I'm fiddling with when I croak) =8-) .
BTW : Tom and I found a medium duty Iveco bobtail truck with a mechanically fuel injected , air cooled Deutz 5 cylinder diesel engine and manual transmission @ P-A-P the other day , it was un - touched & un molested , the engine was covered in 3" of mouse poop but had _everything_ there ~ air cleaner , belts, hoses etc. , etc.
I bet it would have made a nice conversion for something , like maybe my old 1976 GMC 3/4 T pickup truck .
