An '85 300SD challenges the 123 fleet !
Here is the newest:
GOOD: 1985 300SD w/ 279k $500 Body is fair with a couple of surface rust spots Tires and rims are good Sat for a month and we put a new battery in, and fired her up Drives straight, tight steering and wonderfully surprising firmness (corners better than my 123's) BAD: Electrical wonderland. Blinking headlights even with key out. Bad key switch (maybe the culprit for all electronics) Must start it with a gun that is wired to the fender screws that bypass the starter switch. Kind of fun 3 leaking injector hoses possible head gasket problem. must educate myself more on this one (no coolant in oil, but steaming out from port side 6" below the injectors) I simply couldn't pass it up for $500.

You can not loose at that price, worst case, I will buy it for the parts.
Hello Don
More reason for me to come visit soon. I own one and work on a lot of them daily. You can not loose at that price, worst case, I will buy it for the parts. Have a great day.
