I'm across the country from you, but I have five D24T cars and three spare engines. I don't want them all, but whenever one comes up that looks like it is neglected and near the graveyard I tend to buy it in order to try to save it. I just picked up an '85 745 TD with manual trans that I do not need, but didn't want to see it get scrapped. It's an excellent runner but cosmetically rough and hasn't been on the road since 2001. If you are going to provide it with a good home, I might be interested in passing it on to you. I also have a beautiful cherry '85 740 sedan with a worn out motor that I would consider letting go. I have a good motor for it and its registration is up to date. It runs, sort of... getting it started is a major undertaking since it is way down on compression, but once it's going it runs OK.

I need to stop collecting these things but I can't stand to sell them unless it is to someone that I know will take proper care of them...! I've been fixing them up then giving them to family members to drive, since that means they will stay close to me and I'll be able to make sure they get maintained (by me) and stay in good health. It's an addiction.

You are probably too far away to want to take any of them on, but if you are interested drop me a message.
