Nice CD, it will outlast you. I bought a '79 300CD new from Stephenson Motors in Dallas in the fall of 1979, drove it until I gave it to my son when he graduated from school and went into the army in '84, it had 225K miles on it. He drove it until the mid-90's when it had about 450K miles on it. He donated it to Houston Can Academy, and they sold it to a guy who put it back in like new condition. He's still driving it and it's now got over 700K miles andstill looks like new.
