I found a very clean 1980 300SD at a used car dealer with 300K on it. He said the AC was working earlier in the day (yea, sure it was). It has all the typical problems. Door locks not functioning, climate control problems, shifting delays, but I drove it and still liked it. It's a flying couch! One of "our favorite yards" has 2 euro spec w116's with manual heater and AC controls. What are the odds of that? It looks like the permanent ACC solution.
