Thanks for the note re the 380. I have a few other numbers (230 to 450) and I may now know a little bit about the breed since my initiation with 300CD in '92, but I was curious about this local one for somewhat less than 1000, but I can't recall the miles. I didn't think they were over 125M. Body has rust issues & older owner says it ran OK. I like the slanted rear window & the later 126 style. Might be the basis for some reclaimation work and turn into a driver. ( After the cleanup of the 6.9) Smaller v8 should offer a better mileage number but I don't know these things. Typical window issues that I can deal with but I really will look into the motor & trans. for issues---$$$s. Think the interior is OK. That's a plus.

Thanks, again.
