This OM603 powered W124 would make a good starting point for a super turbo project. It was the original diesel Hot Rod and held the fastest diesel production car in the US for years. I hate to let it go but I've got to face facts that I will not be able to give it the attention it deserves. There is some right front corner and bumper damage, but it did not effect the engine compartment or core support. 230000 mi Runs and shifts well. It still has a #14 head but has never overheated or built reservoir pressure overnight. Under duress from swmbo teenage son drove this car for eight months. So the interior shows wear (door panels & armrests) also right front damage. The wife and I drove and loved this car for years and it was well maintained. Now it breaks my heart to see it. I'm offering it to my super turbo friends before it goes to Craigs list. $1800.

Location would probably help interested parties.

Location is Parrish, Florida. That is just south of Tampa. It was in my sig line, but I guess the forum droped it out when I updated my Email address. More photos available on request.

Are you saying you'd like me to send you some more pics? Just PM me your email. Sorry the link expired there were some good pics of a cross sectioned OM617.95 piston showing the anular cooling ring and steel compression ring land as well as a disassembled timmer/ IP drive. Also some nice shots of my Mogs off road. Oh well you snooze you lose. I wish I had more time to pay attention to these important matters
