I purchased this 72 220D (240D motor swap) a while back and have been slowly reviving it.
Honestly it hasn't need anything more than the typical suspension/fluids/rubber parts that typical 40+ year old vehicles need.
Vehicle spent most of its life in texas so there is very little rust, which would be the main reason I purchased it.
Currently, It's my reliable daily driver and I do enjoy driving it. There is quite a bit of patina (which I personally like) on the exterior and interior.
Creme MB tex, Green exterior, sunroof + 4 speed manual trans.
Thoughts on what this thing might go for? I'm looking to get into either a gas engined 123 coupe or sedan or 300CD. Located in Philadelphia.
