This stuff makes me sad...

Just browsing Craigslist this morning and stumbled upon THIS

Poor thing. Also, I feel like the seller is being rather unrealistic about the price

Nah, the price is about right. The poster merely forgot to put the decimal point in its proper spot. Two places to the left of the last two zero's.

My 76 240D, bought as a basket case had that color interior. I'm all about originality; but, THAT was COMPLETELY replaced in short order.

I've never seen a W116 with a column shifter, what a beauty!

How about a W124 with a column shifter? Finnish taxi versions had them. And it's a manual too
