Thumbs up Bought another Turbodiesel

Found this 1984 760 with a M46 last weekend. It used to be a TBer named Tyler. He was from Corvallis, OR then moved to California and was force to sell the car. A guy bought the car and found out after only four months he it has a blown headgasket. Then the car sat in the guy's driveway for a year beacuse the guy could not afford a shop to do the work.

I ended of paying only $500 for the car.

Only the rear left wheel is painted white. Im not sure what suspension in the front, the car is lower than my 240 diesel with 2.5 coils cut. Ill be cutting one coil in the rear at least to even the car out.

The interior is alright condition, inside it's read leather. When I got the car it was covered in moss, took me couple hours to clean the outside. I actually bought this car for my dad to drive to work and back instead of driving his large SUV 40 miles everyday.

Nice find. Glad the car got picked up by someone who will care for it.

The HG is not really that big a job, especially if you have an engine hoist to aid in removing the head with. I'm doing one today, took just a couple hours to get the head off yesterday and will put it back together this afternoon. How did it fail -- oil in the coolant, or losing compression, or external leak? Either way it would be good to repair it ASAP, otherwise damage to hoses, bearings, etc may result from the fluids mixing. The car I took apart yesterday had about half a quart of oil in the water, and some of the hoses have been damaged as a result. Don't forget to do a new front timing belt, tensioner, and water pump at the same time.

How many miles on it? Running and driving? Looks identical to my white '83 sedan, which also has a red interior. I didn't like the appearance at first, but the look is growing on me.

You've got an all-metal radiator in that car, those are rare. Take care of it. I'll buy it from you if it ever goes bad or you want to trade for a good normal one.

Are those the same as the ones found in 240s? If so, I think I have a couple extra in my garage.
