I Found A Cool Fintail Wagon

[Squiggle Dog]

The Mercedes-Benz heckflosse has been my favorite car since I was about 10 years old and I like station wagons for their practicality and utilitarianism. I have been wanting a fintail station wagon for a long time and today I was driving my 200D and spotted one in an alley.

I talked to the owner and he wants to get rid of it. I am trying really hard to come up with the money but I missed about a week of work from having the flu and then there was a short pay period after that. I'm hoping that my 200D that I have on eBay sells so that I can get the cash. Too bad I don't have a rich relative... well, I do, but I would feel like a jerk asking for money!

The car has rust issues and was last driven 20 years ago, so it would be a long-term project for sure. But to me, it would be worth the struggle. I have been telling myself that once I sold the 200D I would focus on my 300SD and not bother with anything else, unless I found a heckflosse wagon for sale. Well, I did!

So now I'm in a mad rush for cash and I hope it doesn't get scrapped, vandalized, or something. I had a 1967 230S that I did a 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine swap to, but the car was extremely rusty so I parted it out. I still have the turbo diesel engine and the knowledge of how to make it work... hmmm... it could be a 300TD Turbodiesel!

What do you guys think of the car?
