That it starts quickly, shifts smoothly, and stops evenly. These are rare and I am sure someone will snatch it up. It looks rough, but they can be made almost like new again, given enough time, money and love.

Saw that, a nice price if it were a westy on top and not just crystalized H2o

If it can maintain speed going up a slight hill and doesn't blow oil out the exhaust pipe all over the back of the car. I had a '82 Diesel once and it was the biggest POS/PITA that I have ever seen.
