I have a 1981 300sd for sale. The transmission is a factory reman. The engine either has been rebuilt or has had a new head put on it- not sure which. Engine blow-by is minimal, and it runs good. I replaced the b-2 piston in the tranny and it shifts fine. Car has 304k miles on it. I am located near Cleveland Ohio- not sure if this would be too far for you. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it up to Mi. I would like to get 1100.00 for it. If you're interested, I will get you pictures.
