'81 TD. Adult owned.
~360k miles. It was a daily commuter from Cape Cod to south of Boston every day.
Rebuilt trans around ~160k ago. No issues in engaging, reverse (oooh!), and overdrive.
All around solid mechanical working order. It will still fire up first shot. No need to cycle the plugs.
We have receipts for everything that has been replaced (hefty folder), including OEM parts from junkyards, or our local Merc specialist.

The bad:

The shell is rotted beyond repair. Rockers are nonexistent, floors have some patches but still rotted in other areas. Rear quarters are like croissants; flaky and beyond repair. Thanks, New England.

Located in New Bedford, MA. Car has been off the road for 6 years. (although moves 2 times a year, and fired up 4 times a year to op temp)


Now for the hoard...

This is my old man's old commuter, and 2nd w123. The first one we ended up making it a parts car and stripped everything after he drove it til it literally rotted enough it wasn't safe to drive anymore.

We have totes full of things. Headlights, tails, regulators, wiring harnesses, clusters, interior pieces, 2-3 extra doors, starters, switches, extra seats, 2-3 sets of bottlecap benz wheels...

and an extra longblock stored just in case. It has no turbo, but it is a real 300td longblock from the last car.

It comes with new calipers, rotors and pads, and knuckles for the rear we have saved.

If I have serious enough inquiries, I can take photos of the totes that are stored to show the hoard. This would be perfect for someone who has a shell and wants to have extras, or build another car, etc.

$900 OBO for everything. We need to clean the house & garage for house upgrades!

PM'ing me would be best way to reach me first.
