Well, this is actually a driveway find, but I am not sure how that would sound as a topic title. I have been driving past this car for the past 8 years or so. It is an 82 300D Coupe. Non turbo. It never moves. One day last year I finally stopped to talk to the owners. The story is that the flex joint broke loose and tore out the fuel lines. The owners had the car in CA but when they moved back to W PA they found that the non turbo engine was not so good on the hills around here. So they have not been very motivated to get it fixed. If I remember correctly the car has about 160Kor 180K on it. The elderly gentleman who knows a lot about the car told me that the previous owner was driving the car from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, overheated the engine, and then had a factory rebuilt engine put in it. I do not know when that occurred but I am mentioning it because my impression is that the engine has fewer miles on it than the body. The car has not been covered, unfortunately, and the rubber is mostly dry rotted: tires, windshield gaskets, etc. The paint is badly faded as well. The body seems decent but I do not know if water has leaked in over the years and caused internal rust. That would have to be checked out. I have had pipe dreams of buying this car and restoring it, but I do not have the time or space. My hands are full with the two 300Ds I have now. I ran into the wife recently at the grocery store and she told me that she really wants to get the car out of the driveway and is motivated to sell it soon. I do not believe her husband drives anymore. The car can be seen from Google Maps if you type in the address: 54 Beaver Street, Leetsdale, PA 15056. Go to street view and turn around to see the left side of the street.

Feel free to PM me if you would like me to put you in touch with the owner. I am not acting as an agent or benefiting from this in any way other than wanting to see the car find a nice home.

Richard
