Spotted: 78 300CD for sale 167k miles, 1 owner

While working I saw a 78 300CD for sale. Off white exterior, tobacco brown interior. 167k original miles. A/C works (not in low fan setting).
I called the number on the car, and the guy that answered is selling it for his grandfather who bought it new.
I spotted new steering links (all 3), and I think the radiator is new. Slight damage to the grille surround and grill, but no metal damage that I could see. (maybe somebody kicked it really hard?) It desparately needs new front and rear windshield seals. Doors looked to line up nice. Anodized trim looked very nice...nicest I've seen in a while. Hood was repainted el-cheapo (spray nozzles match hood). No rust....jackholes looked perfect!

Post if you want me to find out more. Car is in Venice FL.

(I considered buying it, but don't have any room- damnit)

Many Thanks,

I honestly don't know....But, I am thinking there is a good chance it does, since it is a one owner car.

The contact number is 941 809 4241. I think the grandson's name is Mark (might be Mike). He did say that the battery either needs a charge or needs replacing.

(the guy is probably going to wonder, how in the heck an out of town caller knows about the car - lol)
