Anyhow.....I just aquired a running complete 1982 Diesel Maxima. (It still talks too!)
I focus mainly on VW diesel cars. Word somehow got out and I was called re this car. Long story short... I bought it to part out.
I sell a lot of VW diesel engines to people who are making diesel powered projects (cars,trucks,generators,rock crawlers,veg oil people,etc) and figure this engine will be of interest to these people as well.
I haven't placed any of the parts on Craigslist or Ebay YET, as I found this site, and have been using it as a research resource. This site seems like a good place to start,so I'll let it ride here a few days to a week,before I hit Ebay, so..here goes...
The car has 166,000 actual miles. NA (non turbo 6 cyl Diesel) Runs great. It was 20 degrees out yesterday. I cycled the glow plugs twice and it fired right up, and runs smooth and strong. (As previously stated I'm a VW diesel guy....those engines wish they ran this good!)
The car is automatic, and that is the problem. The trans does NOTHING in any gear.
Yellow body w/tan? Gold? interior. Good glass. Everything works as it should (windows, lights,brakes, heater,acccessories,etc) except the air conditioning. No belt on it so I assume the compressor is seized.
Solid doors,hood,trunklid.
I see I can get $300+ on Ebay for the crankshaft out of this engine,for the 240Z car guys to build a stroker motor with.
I kind of hate to do that as this engine runs so good, so I'm looking for $500 for the COMPLETE engine,pulled,picked up here. You can hear it run prior to purchase, as it's still in the car. I'll pull it for a $200 deposit, and you can pay the balance when you pick it up.
As to anything else off the car, please inquire, and I'll do my best to inspect/photograph the part and get back to you.Please include an offer price with your request. I can do PayPal and ship UPS or USPS. NO Shipping on the engine,or anything over what UPS will accept.
BTW....I've been selling on Ebay for 9+ years and you are free to look me up. Username there is Safari-Ron. With 901 after my name,for feedback.
I'm located in NE Ohio not far from Summit Racing. Appx 25 miles South of Cleveland and 45 min West of the Ohio/PA border.
Serious buyers please shoot me an email : RThew12 (AT) Hotmail.com
PIX will be available as soon as this Friggin Snowstorm stops!
