Just spoke with tbomachines earlier this evening; at this point, unless something is undisclosed/unnoticed (don't see how, he is very thorough), I will probably buy this car the weekend after Easter. I will drop the transmission from rust bucket 300D into this one (after a tail shaft swap, of course) and hopefully have a running 'Benz diesel for the first time in my life . I'm very excited.
