How hard is it to find a really nice 240D Larry? Are there still some around that have very little if any rust? My old 911 is "perfect" but what are the odds of finding such a diesel? Was the 240 made up to '85, or did the 300TD replace it for North America? What should I expect to pay for a really nice one? Anyone have any leads? thanks.

WOW! Thanks for all the response to my passing remark about putting a different engine in my 240D! BTW, I saw that video a couple of weeks ago with the VW Bus outrunning the Porsche 993 - if you've ever driven a VW Bus you'll know what a change in personality that is! From slower than a 240D auto with AC on in the heat of summer, to AMG tricked out speeds. Incredible. DOn't know what (if anything) I'll do to the 240D. Right now, the engine is perfect and the body is 90% perfect - but I think a W123 300D Turbo is probably the best option. Does the 300D T use a different AT than my 240D? I guess it might depend on the donor 300?
