looking for a 280 or 300 SE coupe 3.5

I am replacing my dead 280 SEL with a 3.5 coupe. I have found a few promising leads but would I could use some help locating others.
Throw that massive search engine and help me find my new ride.

If I couldn't find one through normal means, I'd go the "mechanic referral" section of this site, then start cold calling the mechanics who work on older stuff; they know everyone and probably know someone who owns one. Since you're in Texas, start in Texas.

Stay away from the 300SEc's, W112, because the air suspension and M189 engine costs will eat you alive. Look for the best and highest cost 280SE 3.5 you can afford.
