For anyone interested, The Virginia Beach Pick-N-Pull has a '78 Euro 280SLC for $1299+fee, in the cars-for-sale section. Straight body, Euro bumpers & lights, crappy silver paint, didn't see much rust (but didn't look underneath), M110 CIS engine with 4-speed stickshift (though it has "5-speed" painted on the windshield), power windows & steering, manual heat, NO AC, decent black interior(might have been leather), owner's manual pouch still in glovebox, radio missing.
Not trying to sell it but it might be pretty rare. So either buy it now, or wait to scavenge parts after it's dragged into the yard.
Happy Motoring, Mark
