Looks like you got me beat for the cheapest car of the weekend. :D I spent $300 and $400 on the ones I found.

THAT's why the fender tilts!! I could not figure out why it tilted on the one I had this weekend, then I had to do the Dukes thing to get in and out of the dang thing. :rolleyes::stupid2:

The Pull-A-Parts around here only charge $11.48 for an aluminum wheel, tire or not.
I don't need much more of an excuse to make that family trip to Atlanta:D

No problem..... It was worth the trip just to be able to watch you trying to get in that car. hahaha :) Tom

Great deal! Maybe you can flip it for a higher profit to a Greaser! :eek: :rolleyes:

The thought has crossed my mind to put my old engine in there and sell it. I also like the idea of driving a numbers matching 50yr old benz when I retire.

Nice find man!

asnowsquall 02-12-2008 06:45 AM
Thats cheap!

I missed a 84 300TD for $650 with like 190K. He said I was number 6 to "see it". I said I'll send you $650 now. He let the 1st guy see it and it sold.

Nice trailer too.

winmutt 02-12-2008 12:22 PM
Toms trailer not mine. Same day there was a CL post for $650 for one in much better condition with transmission issues. Oh well I am going to do compression test this weekend and make sure I haven't wasted my money.

TheDon 02-12-2008 12:25 PM
wasted money.. heh.. if the body panels are rust free you've got parts to put on ebay and some money to make back at the scrapper!

You guys got it good ...

Here in Canada, you can't even find a steelie for for that kind of price.:eek:

I've been looking for a set of nice bundt's for the longest time to put my summer tyres on. Summer's coming and I still haven't scored a set at the right price :(

bgkast 02-12-2008 09:06 PM
That one looks like a good candidate to hot rod to me. :D

An excellent recovery! Caint be alot involved with DIY replacement of blown turbo seals.

Really cool thing about $250 - $500 MB is with elbow grease and know-how, it's service to the community reselling em and keepin em on the road. It's like when 240D's bottomed out in market value a few years ago and folks couldnt give em away. Now skyrocketed up to thousands of dollars in reasonable decent (restored or original) condition.

Not one nickle you throw into that 300D will be lost assuming you turn yer own wrench, says me.
