I love the 300CD, not a lot of them around, at least good examples.
Seen some premo one`s listed for $12K on up. Seen some in the PNP`s
beat to crap...too bad.
I saw this listing on CL guy posted the picture as he is looking for one.
Beautiful one, it is what we all dream of having.....not the one`s we are
driving now.

When I was a kid, the 55 - 57 Chevy`s were called "Hard Tops" w/o the door
post. The CD is in this category, though MB calls it a Coupe. Both classy
vehicles.
You are kind of in a pickle restoring one and need to fix the other. Those
are kind of low # on the engine.
Where are you in Ca.? I saw this one on the Redding CL, a running parts
car for $800 with 253K miles. Something to think about.
