My wife is daily driving the 87. I will use this one to travel to Savannah every weekend.

Not to get personal...but, how much? We're ALL curious and watching the current market closely.

650 as it sat.

Beautiful example! Great find. Really nice color that'll buff out to an awesome finish! You asked, "anything to look out for".....only about a million things lol. Good luck with this great car! Ditto what vwnate said....be careful, these are VERY addictive. How is your ignition key function? Take care of that at the slightest sign of trouble (lots of info here).
$650!!!! You STOLE it...hahahah. What is the current mileage?
Really nice find. This car will be beautiful without too much effort. Again, congrats!

If it's not too much of a pain....a pic or two of the engine/compartment? A lot of us would love to see that, too, I'm sure.

Thanks. I buffed a spot and it shined right up. Theres some checking. Chrome is in good shape. Headlight doors are cracked but Ill replace.

Ill get some today after work. The injectors are out so its in a bit of disarray.

Ok, thanks Dubyagee...looking forward to them. Just out of curiosity (and because many of us are CONSTANTLY "on the prowl") how did you happen to come across this fine specimen?

Craigslist. Searched Mercedes 300D

Some randoms I just found.

Nice car. I noticed on the front of your garage door your house street address is 231. This W123 Car was destined to be in your garage. Have fun and enjoy.

Haha. That was the sellers house. I didnt put that together.

Ok. You still have a very nice car.

Thank you

Like I said. Its a mess from working.



The hood spring pockets are clean.



Im guessing thats the famous temp control.

looks like your original climate control has been upgraded to 190e style vacuum controlled heater valve with its own circuit board
