Description

I first purchased this vehicle from a neighbor in KS, without title. I paid a lawyer to get it released to me, and set to work giving it lots of love, new brakes, rotors, belts, engine bumpers, injectors, hoses, electrical replaced, gaskets, front main seal, etc. Once I felt it was doing better, I purchased a single tank veggie oil kit from Germany, added it, and took a round trip on VO to AR from KC, and it ran like a champ. However, I tuned the valves, which set off the injection pump to billowing white smoke (something that took me quite awhile to diagnose; I have the adjusting wrench to do this but have not). 4 years later I'm now too busy to give it the rest of the love it needs to truly be a beauty. It has rust, parts that I've superglued back on, and smells like it's over 30 years old. But I love this car and I hope to find someone else that does just as much or more. It floats on the highway and drives really nicely. I can describe what I think it needs, where it's leaking oil, etc. Serious interests only please (I'd love to chat about VO and diesel all day, but like I said, I'm too busy now). I posted a video on youtube of some of its features. Purchase comes with extra turbo, injection pump, and other random parts I have acquired for it. I currently have been unable to get it to stay given the recent cold. https://youtu.be/KibCL4LW7f0
