Hmm
Keep it! I have a 76 300D myself. I have found my transmission shifted like crap because the metal linkages on top of the engine needed to be tightened up. The one directly over the valve cover the faces towards drivers side fender would constantly unscrew and I would slowly get weird shifting. If I remember correctly, I think someone told me that these transmissions are not vacuum modulated, only in the W123's which use a different tranny. The W115 is a great chassis. Get the rust fixed, slap a Maaco paint job on it for now and drive it until you have more money to fix it up. For whatever reason I have a feeling these cars will be like the fintails and pontons in another 10 years or so: The forgotten, old design MB's. The W123 looks so much more modern than the W115: and thats why I love the W115.
Beautiful car BTW. Love the interior and exterior color. Hell I'd pay 1k for that thing in a heartbeat.
