Does he have any more?

I also got mine for free, by the way; it was my grandparents' car.

Well, I don't think your average person would give away a car like this...the man that owned it is 91 years old (and a little bit batty), and has had several 123's, and just by talking to him, he made it sound like they are just disposable workhorses...he then proceeded to show me his Lincoln Town car, and said "now THIS is a real car!". He's obviously well off, and I doubt he needs the money that this car would bring on the market. He just wanted it out of his driveway lol.
That is SCHWEEEET! 34 bucks for a low mileage 300D Turbo. I hate you too

I cleaned the interior today! But I accidentally got glue on the glove box trim!!! I'm still trying to find out how I can remove it without damaging the wood.

I was looking over all the wood trim, and I could only find ONE crack below the center vents that is almost unnoticeable. I had to really look hard to see it. Here are some pics:

Damn man, lets just rub it in a little!

Seriously though that is nice looking inside and out. Mine came to me at about an 8 out of 10 inside and out, but that one looks to be about a 9.5-9.8 out of 10!

I just keep getting more and more jealous!

Damn nice find, Johnathan! At free you got me beat by $100 (yours looks to be in better shape)! I got you beat on the mileage front, though.
