Just to finish up the tread. We have found a winner. After trekking thru piles of snow, bearing -30c temperatures, dealing with weird owners, and encountering a lot of beaters. That prev 300ce was nicer in the pics then in person, window was delaminating, and the car has seen some harsh salty winters, we decided to pass.. But We have finally hit the jackpot, and my good bud is super happy.
We found a fantastic shape 91 300e. Car looks great for a vehicle of its age, low milage, just needs a bit of a polish, hasn't been run for about 8 months, prev owner ended up upgrading to a truck.
He still wishes it was a coupe, but this car was too nice to pass up.

Just trailered it back to my shop yesterday, haven't tried to force starting it, going to do a once over before turning it over.. should be able to get into it once the arctic chill blows by.
