Based on the current market in California, where the cars have little rust,
that's a bit high.

I'd say $5,500 to $6,500 would be more like it, depending on how well it
runs and how straight and rust-free the body is.

Any input?  Any special problem areas to check on a TD (I don't know a lot
about T series cars)?  Any super-expensive parts I should make sure are
there?
