I can't remember who informed the list of
a 1986 505 Turbo Diesel on craigslist, but I put a
downpayment on it. The body is sound, but not especially
pretty. ie. badly dented rear door, mild dent in the
dog leg, mild dent in front fender, god awful CASE red
respray, 1 inch round rust through in hood, and a home made
exhaust system. Motor sounds great and 4 speed auto seems
to work well, nice tires on alloy rims. Destined to be a
winter beater/commuter.
Any used exhaust components out there?
