Ha! you were willing to drive alot farther than me! I do remember the video he had sent me of it starting/running and of the interior. It looked pretty fresh.

I'm no longer looking since I decided to go with a really nice '84 764GLE sedan (with a new factory crate D24T from Germany) I found and maybe swap the engine into a 945 someday...

I'll post details/photos in the showroom when I get a chance.

All this talk of the rarity of 1985 740 TD wagons with the M46 makes me want to try and restore mine instead of looking for a nice later model 700/900 series wagon to eventually swap the D24T into. My car is VERY rusty, although with enough time and patience (and a lot of work) I could make it nice again. I really can't stand the maroon interior though, and the car basically needs to be gutted and completely redone from front to back to get it up to my standards (I'm a bit OCD when it comes to my cars). Would it be sacrilege to yank the engine & trans and put it in a later model, or should I bite the bullet and restore the 85?

Nothing wrong with installing the diesel stuff in a later wagon. For that matter, I'm sure you can find a gas wagon from the 80s like yours, but from somewhere south where it wont be rusted out.

Yeah, with as much work as this one needs I'm not sure it'd be worth the time or effort when I could find a nice one to swap the engine into. By the time I was done it'd basically have a whole new body anyway...

Ya swapping the diesel powertrain into a similar year gas car is pretty easy from what I understand. Make sure you keep the cross member from your car and then everything bolts in...
