Seller implies it's original? Looks like its been this way a long time. I know about the late '70s PU's being diesel, but never seen a car with a diesel from the factory. I'm guessing someone did this swap during the second gas crisis...... shruggy

I had never even heard of that until you posted it. I would love to see that in person, but Cohoes New York is a pretty far drive from Denver...but I think its pretty cool...and you would have the only one at the show.

It's too bad someone spray canned the engine compartment. What are the 2 things sticking out of the firewall, just to the left of the heater hoses? Was that for AC?

Yeah, looks like AC. If you look closely, you can see the AC vents are still in place under the dash.

I wonder just how slow it really is? (I've ridden in a microbus eek )

And, it has power "breaks" as well.

I actually had a 68 Dart 2-door sedan with a Nissan fork lift diesel in it, was from California. Slow as molasses but got great mileage! Glad I still don't have it...LOL..

Just a couple years ago a aspen or volare wagon was on CL with this conversion. It was cheap and ran. Had I known it were some sort of semi sanctioned conversion I would of bought it to play with. It was in good shape and under $1500. Or maybe it was a good thing I didnt.

Well I can see why they didn't sell many of them, the conversion costs more than the car laugh2 As a side note, A 904 and a 7.25 shock

Kinda dampens the idea of putting on a turbo and intercoooler.

This makes we wonder if adding a selective “Propane Boost” system would improve hill climbing performance.
The Aftermarket Bully Dog Propane boost system for Diesel Dodge Rams had noticeable boost on hills.

What could a modern knowledge of cylinder head porting do to peak output?

Looks like they already had a turbo on it. Still pretty pathetic for a turbo diesel. Unique piece and I wouldn't mind owning one, not at 5 figures though.
