FS: 1980 300SD Turbodiesel

Alright folks I figure since I don't have enough time or money to work on our entire fleet of cars that I need to liquidate a few of them, so I'm putting up for sale my 1980 300SD Turbodiesel

Some good things about the car:
-body is super straight with little to know rust that I can find
-107k miles on the car, previous owner put a freshly rebuilt engine in the car before parking it, I'm guessing it has less than 1k miles on it
-no blowbly
-fresh oil and fuel filters (and new oil)
-recently cleaned the entire fuel system
-new oil pan
-has ~5 gallons of diesel in it, with some algaecide and cetane booster for a little longevity

Some maybe not so good things about the car
-interior is not in great shape
-needs new front/rear window seals (they leak, which is why the interior is nothing special)
-needs new bulbs pretty much all around as most are missing
-upon further inspection the engine shocks appear to be missing

Some extra things!!!
-since the original instrument cluster got water damaged I have a LIKE NEW one that comes with the car
-I have some of those (15?) hole wheels that came on the w126 and w201 cars, wrong offset though, that I'll throw in for free to scrap/use/dowhateveryouwantwith

So, I'm asking $1400 for the car, its in better condition than I got the car in and I've since done some work to it (wasn't really running when I got it) and the price I'm asking is less than what I have into the car.

Thanks folks!

Don't let the picture fool you too much, the car was wet when I took it. The clear coat is pretty faded in some parts, although I wouldn't say it's too bad

Why was it not running when you first got it? I hope to see more photos of this car.

Well it would start but would die and idle rough, and overheat really quickly. I ended up removing the fuel tank and cleaning the entire system thoroughly, and the oil pan was smashed in so I replaced that, afterwards it runs better, but is still kind of hinky. I decided though that I think I'm just going to keep the car and finish fixing it up since I'm pretty content with where my other projects are at the moment

Good for you! I have a number of projects myself. But down the line if you think of selling, please keep me in mind. I love the 116's. I want one in every color.
