Thanks to Lance, Brian, and Tom for their advice on this purchase. Here are pics of our 83 300SD purchased yesterday. 146k miles, one owner. A/C still R12 and works! Sunroof works. Cruise does not work. Two rust spots on R passenger door, none anywhere else so far. Needs new control arm bushings, some seat work, fuel hose from tank replaced, antenna mast replaced, and some minor dings fixed. Runs smooth.
So far, I have repaired driver's side window switch (drove it home 245 miles with window down) and changed oil and filter, fuel filters, air filter, PS filter and fluid. Scheduled next week for front end work, tranny filter and fluid, differential fluid, and body work.
Happy so far and my wife likes it too!
Any and all suggestions welcomed.
John
