1983 300D Pastel Beige $3000 San Antonio

I'm selling my baby. It's an '83 300D with 304k on the clock (odo was working when I got it - it quit once on me and I did the dieselgiant repair and it's been fine since so I figure it's pretty accurate). It's a good car for a commuter I think (heck that's what I use it for) and I wouldn't sell it except I want to try an SD on for size and I need to raise the cash first so SWMBO won't get upset.
Rockers are in good shape - there is a small half-dollar sized area behind rear wheel well that shows a sign of rust. Jack holes are good. It's been repainted (original Pastel Beige) a few years ago but looks OK from 10 feet
AC and heat work (still original R12 system) and dash looks good with only a couple minor cracks in the corner. Driver's seat has the wallet wear typical on the left bolster, but otherwise all OK. Sunroof/windows work. Central locks work if you shut off the AC first (probably a diaphragm leaking somewhere). Has original Becker radio/cass and antenna in working condition. Some of the trim has been replaced with bamboo instead of parchment (driver's map pocket for instance) but it doesn't change the handling!
Tranny shifts fine. Tach works sometimes. Clock works. Cruise works.
A couple months ago I replaced the flexdiscs and differential carrier bearing. I had all the rear axle boots replaced when I first got it. The tires were new when got it 11,000 miles ago and still look like new. They were balanced and rotated at 6000 miles. I've kept a good logbook since I got it - I bought it from a board member on another forum, but she didn't keep any records (it was her dad's before but he was owner 2 or 3). I bought an owners manual for it when I bought it.
I've replaced glow plugs, adjusted the valves, flushed the radiator, changed trans cooler lines, replaced a tie rod end that showed wear and added a top of the line Huber Optik tint job to keep from overworking the AC last summer.


$3000 cash and I can meet you halfway in Texas to deliver.

If you need a pic of something specific let me know and I can send it.

PS - I bought a pair of euro headlights to install but haven't got around to it - if it goes for $3k then I throw them in for free - I'll wait to sell them separately to see if the new owner wants them.
