OT: Caddy diesel f/s in IL $300

Hey folks -- sorry for the off-topic, but I have one too many cars.  A bit
of info:

(if this link doesn't work mail me and I'll send you the shutterfly
invitation to view the pics; email by Friday, please, as I'll
be out of town this weekend for Air National Guard duty (fixing jets
instead of cars!)).

The truck runs and drives, but needs CV boots
replaced on the pass side. I have the boots (the Autozone generic
replacements), but have not pulled the axle to replace them. There is
some rust near the rear wheel wells, and a bit on the rockers... paint
looks like hell, as does the interior... but everything seems to work.
I put new glow plugs in it, but in cool weather it needs a *brief*
shot of ether in the snorkel to fire up. Once it's started, it's
fine, though. It has two new tires, one newer, and one that'll need
replaced. I have a couple brand new tires on Geo rims that can go
with it, too. I replaced a bad rear spindle with a good used one, and
put new wheel bearings on the back (both sides). No radio. Exhaust
appears to have been cobbled together, but sounds fine and is not
rusty. Truck does have a steel topper on the bed. Head gasket was
replaced ~2000 miles ago and the mechanic who did the work said the
head was fine. Truck has just over 200K on the engine.

The bad news: fuel tank has a small puncture. It's small enough that
it could be welded up, I'm sure. I might be able to pull that for a
prospective buyer and have it welded inexpensively.

It's not pretty, but it's a solid running truck. $300 (which is
significantly less that I have in it) takes it. I do have a title,
but it's been signed in the wrong spot by the p.o.; he corrected this
and initialed it, but then I signed the title, assuming I'd be
registering it in my name. So if your DMV is fairly liberal and won't
mind lots of initialed corrections, it's got a good title. Otherwise,
I can obtain a replacement title as I know the previous owner (but I'm
not sure what that will cost in IL).

Thanks!
