Yes sir, a 1976 300D, with a few modifications. I've been looking for one for a while, and found this on the local VW forum. Guy pretty much built exactly what I had wanted to do myself. Needs a little bit of bodywork, but its in pretty good shape all things considering. 5 cylinder 3.0L diesel thats pretty much indestructable, manual air-ride setup (no electronics in this car, thats the way its staying), 3 speed auto (going to be on the hunt for a 4spd conversion).
My only real plans are to strip the body and take care of all the rust, I'l probably pay to have this done as my bodywork skills are severely lacking, pull the engine out and give it a once-over, replace whats needed, try and find the parts for a 4spd conversion (pretty rare), paint it (something flat or satin), re-assemble and enjoy for years. I take delivery in June as the owner is using it in his wedding party at the end of May (selling it because of the wedding, hes not too happy). Hope to bring it to Scottfest this year....

And a little video demonstrating the air-ride...
