52K miles with rebuilt engine which does not run

Do you believe this?

W123 300D

Quote:

You are bidding on an imaculate example of classic Mercedes Benz. The 300 turbo diesel. Exterior color is blue/green, vehicle has had some minor paint work done to the left side but was done very, very well. Interior is a great condition, covered in rich saddle colored leather. With only 52,072 miles this car will be more than able to take you for many more miles and memories of classic Mercedes Benz heritage and engineering. The engine was recently rebuilt ($5,000) including a new crankshaft. However the engine at this time does not run.

So why only 52K in 22 years and what happened to the engine? and what is wrong with the rebuild??
Some cars have a story to tell. If only they could tell us what happened.
