Thanks Justin and others.

I don't plan on "modding" the car. These are limited production cars, with a potential for being desirable to future collectors. Changes to the vehicle may impact its...

It would be interesting to know the history of this car. The "mods" (lol) are hideous and the mileage is as believable as a politician.

Ugh. Wrong wheels. Wrong lights.

21k miles? LOL

I think they made a typo on the price and added an extra zero.

300SD Transmission

This was pulled from my previously owned 300SD. The higher gears would not engage so I replaced it with another good used one. As such this transmission is now merely a core and a candidate for a...

For the time being the car runs well enough to move around the driveway.

Now on to the brakes. The calipers are frozen and the brake lines are all in somewhat sad shape.

I haven't had much time over the past 3 weeks to work on the car.
