Dieslers, it would seem that my 16 y/o son with his newly minted driver's license have an adventure lined up for this weekend. We've been made aware of a 1979 240D with an owner that would like to move it. The car has been sitting for a year and hasn't been started in that timeframe. I don't know whether it has serial or parallel plugs. I've been told it has no major mechanical problems.
So the questions: 1) What plan of attack should I take in getting it started? Hints? Things not to do? Think to do? (I know not to use ether for example.) 2) If anyone is familiar with the DMV regulations in VA, what are the requirements for buying and transporting a car out of state? Obviously, this assumes driving it away; putting it on a trailer is a known quantity. ...Kevin '87 300D 282k mi
