Subject:'82 TurboDiesel 7 Pass. for sale
From:Rick Sherrod (Certifiable VW mech)
Date:Sun, 7 Mar 1999 01:28:02 +0000

I have an '82 7 passenger in which I am installing a 1983 Quantum TurboDiesel motor.
The purchaser will be able to decide which interior they get and some other details.  The
Van is Marino yellow with a beige-white top side (normal VW style two tone).

The Turbo Diesel engine is a factory rebuilt exchange unit in a wrecked Quantum with only
140K showing on the speedometer.  This motor could have only 30K mi on it, or even less.
Those of you who are in the market for a real nice van that gets about 28 mpg let me
know right away.  This will be one of the last projects that I will offer to be sold.  After this
one I keep them all for myself because I intend to retire by the end of this year.

FYI-  I just updated my V6 Vanagon page(s) this week in case any of you are wondering
how that is doing:

I do regret not having the time to subscribe to the Vanagon list anymore, but it is a
distraction from my goal of early retirement so it will have to wait.  Send me email!!
