I bought a 300d 87, for $1300. Good compression and good shifting, no rust. But lots of little things with 270k miles on the clock. All in, including a cheap paint job I've spent about $11,000. Unfortunately, I didn't do all of the work myself. All of the suspension work including replacing every bushing and ball joint was done in a shop. I think around $5,000 of that is small stuff, seat parts and switches and stereo and whatnot. Someday I'll post a play by play of the resto. But, I now have a fine car. Love the 124 and especially the 87 d.
