My grandparents bought a '76 240d new back in the day. It got plenty of use for it was passed down to my parents and then on to my sister and I. Rust eventually led to its demise and we had junked it a few years ago.

I had been searching for a pristine 240d to use as a summer driver for the past 6 months. I randomly searched google for "california 1976 240d" two days ago and this site thread popped up. I stopped by Mike's shop yesterday and took a look at the 'cedes. Aside from a small rust patch on the driver's side rear quarter panel, she was in excellent condition.

So... today I made the payment and picked up the title to this beauty. Mike really seems like a great guy. He is even going to store her for me until the snow and salt is off the roads or early April, which ever is sooner.

Anyways, sorry for the lengthy read but I just wanted to thank you (babymog) so much for posting this up here I really appreciate it!
