Although the usual caution is to be advized when negotiating with used car dealership sales..... masters of deception at hiding massive mechanical problems like cracked cylinder head that was common among early generation w115 body style 4cyl 230's.

The thing about this car, though, is that it is NOT a 230CE M102, which is a hugely desirable car. Rather, this is a 230C with the exact same M115 and Stromberg carb that was used in the W115 cars, hence my jaundiced opinion of what it is worth.
It is interesting, unusual, and full of rare parts, however, and might make a nice driver if it checks out mechanically, but it will never be worth as much as a car with a better engine and fuel injection. If this car doesn't check out mechanically and can be acquired for a decent price, think of it as a donor car for the most awesome 300CD in the world.
