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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.
