No need to feel embarrassed about being a sucker for MB's - it's much like women and shoes - they don't need them either, yet they're always looking at them.

I suppose, if the body has no rust, and the interior is very very nice, you could use the shell....Naw....still too much buck & time for the amount of bang.


Why not try to find a nice SD shell instead?

I found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1984-Mercedes-Benz-300SD-PARTS-ONLY_W0QQitemZ160225938431QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160225938431

Here is a working SD, for less than 2k http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCEDES-300-SD-TURBO-DIESEL_W0QQitemZ130211287509QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130211287509

This one here, needs an engine http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1984-Mercedes-300SD-Turbo-Diesel-NEEDS-ENGINE-NO-RESERV_W0QQitemZ140221648328QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140221648328 That one, is the nicest one, out of the 3.
