84W123DT
Of everything about this car, the complete lack of rust still amazes me. Being from one of the road salt areas of the country I have always dreaded purchases of vintage and/or antique vehicles. With help, I can ususally get any mechanical/electrical issue dealt with however rust is one thing I can't deal with.

As I wrote earler, the book is still open on this one. Too good to be true rings clear with me and I am going to remain vigilant for issues requiring attention. I took this approach with my '87 and really love the vehicle. I bought it for utility use and it has served me well. No rust (to speak of) and most of the systems perform as intended. Cosmetically it does not hold a candle to the '84 but . . . they were purchased for different purposes.
