I recently purchased a 1975 300D. I bought it from a local older gentlemen that had bought it for his wife when she retired. It had 40,000 miles on it. the inside is great and everything works. They let it set outside a lot,so it does have some rust and needs paint. I have a apointment to get painted. It runs great! I really like the way it drives and handles. This is my first MB. Don L
