    [​IMG] I saw this 88 Ford LTD today. It's rusty, you might see the rust in the wheel arches and on the lower end of the tailgate.

    Saw this guy the other day. Made me happy because it looked like a work in progress. Has a bunch of spare parts including a transmission in the back. Love these Mercedes diesels. Would like to own another 300TD some day. 739445CE-1454-4806-B4B7-38B34C1A8CB2.jpeg

    Pretty good shape that one. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an RS. Would that be rally sport or real slow? Those are front wheel drive with a four banger?

    3.1 V6 was optional and it looks like this one has it since it is the RS trim level.

    Oh yeah, looks like the badge on the front says 3.1 FI maybe? This would be early 90’s? 90-93 maybe?’

    :rofl2:That was REALLY good. :) I did get a look at the front fender badge but no photos. It was the 3.1 FI. That's an increase of at least 5 horsepower right there! ;)

    I saw the pic and thought "poor beat up Mercedes" but looking closer I see that it still looks pretty solid despite it's appearance.

    Great brakes on the Ford, but no chains/straps on the tractor.

    I happened to see this one locally. I need to check and see if it’s for sale and get a closer look. Looks like a 58 Chevrolet?

    Oooo, that is curious. A closer look is definitely required

    I concur that it is a 58 Chevy. I also think that it is worth investigating.
