Hello All,
i'm in the market for a 70's series diesel and was wondering if anyone could chime in with a few pointers on I am looking at, and/or just give some general input on things to look out for. I am new to LCs and this forum so forgive my NOOBnes.
I came across this one on ebay. it is from a seller/importer in Florida and I've had a few exchanges over email with him.
Price is 13k with shipping to Los Angeles California( which is where I am), US from Florida US. Price includes a Florida registration. It is the tan one pictured with the removable hard top and shovel .

Details I believe you got from me today?1985 frp top,5 speed manual,3.4 liter 4 cilinder non turbo.
I sell it with a clean and clear florida title,I never had a problem with registrations in other states
But its up to the buyer to take care of that and responsebility is for the buyer.Vehicle is still in europe.
,its still possible to ship it straight to Ca instead of fla first,but I don’t know who has an office there to
Do the paperwork,my guesstimate ship from fla to ca around 1250.

-New set of parabolic Springs front and rear including shock absorbers,
-Revision front axle,
-Revision for brakes (new drives and blocks)
-front crankshaft seal replaced.

-rear wheel seals replaced.
The car has always had his turns in between. Also oil of acceleration
Bake and shafts are replaced
I'm not familiar with diesel motors and I know that these trucks came in a few different variations, so was wondering if there were any thoughts on best motor for these trucks.
Thanks for everyone's time and apologies in advance for any spelling errors or NOOB remarks.
