Hmmmm, there is an '80 300CD that I could probably get for $200 at the MOST. It had what looked to be near-new axleshafts. I'm starting to reconsider. The motor they say is junk, the body is rusted. It has a near perfect blue coupe interior, newly rebuilt front suspension, lots of new vacuum fittings too.
Hmmmm......
