I had a friend in Seattle who had an 84 300D (he bought it new) that went (chassis and engine, with one engine rebuild at 300k miles) 750K miles before it pooped. God I wish I had taken a pic of that odo (which amazingly worked perfectly the entire 750K miles) before the car went to the scrap yard. Ahhh the days before the widespread use of digital cameras...
