Yes, I will be back.

The guys drive it away this evening - It was a 1982, with an exhaust leak, 313k on the clock and some rust here and there. Came with some new parts, some old parts, a full set of steel wheels w/ hubcaps (rode on bundts). Engine started just fine in todays 30* weather. $700 for the lot - I am satisfied. They were happy to get a car with so many extra parts.

I'll be back in an old Benz someday - My MK3 Jetta isnt bad, but you can tell the Engineering just isnt there, I miss the W123 already (I don't miss the higway racket though)

-John
