I feel bad for this guy and I hope he isn't on this forum - 1979 300D mercedes 113k

1979 300D mercedes 113k - $500 (scotts valley)

Parts Car. This car was in great running order with only 113k miles! However, I accidently dropped the top 10mm nut from the top of the air filter cover into the intake. The nut fell into the head and through the open valve onto the piston. It was then forged into the piston. I've stripped the engine down and pulled the head off. The #3 piston now has a big dent in it. The head and valves are miraculously unharmed. Prior to the incident the car ran and drove great, no issues. I don't have the time or money to put into rebuilding this engine, an am selling it as a parts car. The body has some major cancer, real rust issues! Was a new Jersey car. I haven't even put it in my name yet as we just bought the thing a few weeks before I killed it. However, it does have a clear title and current registration. I'd rather not part the car out if i can help it. Please e-mail, call or text if interested. I have spotty reception here so if you call PLEASE leave a message- I'll get back to you ASAP! Asking $500. Located in Felton (by Scotts Valley) in the Santa Cruz mountains. Will obviously need to be towed!
