Free 1985 245 desiel in Arlington TX 200

Car is in Arlington Texas
Straight body-Brown
Good tires, factory wheels
Not turbo
All power options still work perfect.
Overall, car is real nice, it just won't start
95,000 miles
Will not start. It has a new injector pump. Will turn over and over and over and over and over...

I parked the car one day, came out later, it wouldn't start.

I don't need the car anymore, I have the title, it's clean, I'll give it to you.

The car is free, come and get it and you can have it. Use it for a parts car, figure out what little problem is keeping it from running and drive it, burn it down, jump it off a cliff, race it, paint it, use it for a paper weight, just come and get it. This car is available for immediate pick up.

I will part it out for $200 per part. Whatever you need, $200 per part. Waterpump-$200, wheel-$200, Seat-$200, motor-add up all of the parts, multiply by $200. Or you can take the whole car for free.

Just got off the phone with Chris - going to pick up the car. He gets home after 5:30.

Is this Chris W? That would be cool, always wanted a wagon. But, alas, I think I've run out of room to park projects! Would you consider trading for a non-running Mercedes? ;-)

No, 4.5 V8 with a blown head gasket. It's a 450SE...

I'm in Dallas and if my wife wouldn't throw a fit I'd be over in a heartbeat. You ought to post this on the V8 conversion site. Alot of those guys look for a dead diesel car because the weight with a V8 is about the same.

If I can figure out a way to get over there and drag it back, I could always use another diesel ( I'm in AR).

Has the compression been checked?

I havn't spent time to do anything with it. I don't need the car anymore, so I'm not intrested in fixing it, or doing any diagnostic testing on it. The reason it won't start is because it's not getting fuel. Trust me, I know it's not getting fuel. I took the line off and no fuel came out. Compresion has nothing to do with the no start problem.

It's free.

Too bad the car's not in California.

I have a friend that would take that car in a heart beat. Of course he's in the middle of rebuilding another VW engine
(air-cooled type 4) at the moment, but he's looking for a diesel or a Volvo.. or a Volvo diesel :)
