Some guy locally is selling a W123 diesel wagon. Asking price around $7500. Apparently belonged to a car aficionado who passed away 5 years ago. Car originated in FLorida. Before he passed away, he apparently (can this be true?) spent $40,000 on a restoration! (stripped to the metal, full refurbishment - apparently records to attest). Then while driving on freeway the timing chain broke and the dealer replaced the engine. It's been driven only seldomly since the owner passed away and is now being sold. 2 hours away or I'd be tempted to go have a look at it... DOn't need another Benz now but this sounds like a possible deal. Thoughts?
