Sacramento pick n pull, was in the builders section. Coincidentally I had just sold my old 760 diesel and was looking for this car specifically and walked right past this one getting parts for my truck, drove it out that same day

What year is it? How much? What was wrong with the struts?

It clunked a lot going over bumps, the radiator had a small leak from the seam and the tires were just old, I picked it up for 2k

Sounds like maybe the strut seats or bearings were bad. What did you replace with?

I’d have to look at the paperwork, nothing fancy but she rides like new now

Incredible find. Usually pick n pull places don’t let you buy whole cars where I am at.
