Some would consider it a downgrade...but when recalling my nightmarish experiences with newer Benzes (mainly my 98 C230) it seems like a totally logical move!
It's a 1980 with 267k miles. Has the usual amount of blowby, shifts surprisingly smoothly, and has working AC! Not to mention the clean body and interior. Only things it needs are window seals, one new seat spring, and a new door lock on the driver's side. Oh, and the door pockets are missing for some reason...
I plan on putting either chrome bundts or chrome Centra's on it, Euro headlamps, and MAYBE lowering it. Not sure yet. What do you guys think?
Here are a few pictures...
