It says "description coming soon".

I wonder if it will be a real champion, perhaps even a real gem.

OOPS! Tried to copy/paste URL for the ebay auction but it wouldn't work. Here is the auction # if interested:
160152821801
I bet the extra ball on top, is just there for storage or something... probably just sitting there in the space between the body. I don't think the rear hatch would open with that ball mounted there... that hitch installed under the bumper looks fine to me. VERY nice example of a TD... L.A. of course... and WAAAAAAAAY out of my price range.

You should read some of this seller's neg feedbacks.

I'm digging that glopy fiberglass repair job. Looks like somebody coughed up a hairball on the car!

"somebody coughed up a hairball on the car!"

Why is it some of the wagons rust there? Does the trim vibrate and rub, or just moisture hangs out?

I should have talked my 300SD up more, bet I could have gotten some extra money for it.

Insted of saying, its a rusty driver I should have said. "Its perfect a real gem!"

My $500 Champion Gem that will go 500K easy!

Being the addict that I am, as soon as my auction ended I had another used 1985 300TD Gem lined up so today I put a deposit on it.
Its a GEM for sure, but no hairball.


Notice the classic air scoops in the front of the hood. This hood looks much better in person, very nice waves. The previous owner had a little hood flip open surprise, hence the new windsheild.

On the plus side, the ebay seller redid the rims

No sense in leaving a turd unpolished.

I was wondering why you folks are having so much fun with this Ebay seller. Either this guy can't read or he is a lier. His listing clearly states it has "Miles: 104000". Yet a pic of the odo shows an extra 100,000 miles

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff191/unitedsport1/IMG_3211.jpg

I wonder if the sucker winning bidder can get a refund based on the huge mileage discrepancy?

I'm just wondering if it will pass inspection so I can use it as a winter bomb. Hey, all it needs is ______, and _______, and __________, and _________, but the exhaust and the windshield are new!

It has the 3rd seat and not the my kids will ever be in this car, but I asked the wife if I had a nice clean wagon and it had the 3rd seat will you let me put a kids in the back. She says no, and after looking at this some more I think I agree with her. There isn't a lot of room, and who ever is back there in the 3rd seat will be thrown towards the vehicle that hitting you.

It is! Its a real champion, a real gem!

The good news is : The Jack Points are Solid!

Of course the fenders and doors are rotten, and the drivers side floor is so bad that the worn out seat is leaning to the left (look at the seat back in the picture of the open trunk).

Oh yeah, while the odometer reads correct this time, it obviously isn't the original gauge (black button vs silver buttons).

This guy should be stopped.
