[Vwdiesel] "New" Quantum

[William J Toensing]

Lady luck was smiling on me today. Our local radio station, KNCO, has a daily program where listeners can call in with things for sale, wanted, etc. My ears perked when I heard "Quantum diesel for sale, $1,000". I dropped working on my Hudson, immediately called but was told I was the 4th caller in only 5 minutes after I heard her. I quickly drove to the credit union, got $1,000 cash & drove to see the car. Luckily, I was the first one there. Found an '82 Quantum turbodiesel 5 speed wagon in need of some tlc, but only 117,000 miles with everything working but the A/C. The car runs well & handled nicely so I bought it without any haggling as I felt it was a bargain. It is now in my garage next to my '81 Dasher diesel wagon which I will sell along with my "81 diesel Rabbit projects. Probably do this on Craig's list but will give you a chance first. Looks like there are enough differences between the Quantum & Dasher wagons that I can't use much off my '80 Dasher wagon parts car.
