I'd fix up the '87. They are so superior to the 123 that its worth putting time and money into one if it a good car to begin with (yes a MB can be a money pit but hey these are excellent vehicles, remember the '87 300D sold for something like $38K).
I just looked at CL and there's one in Redwood City for $3750

but the one in the East Bay for $4200 really caught my eye, heck I might just not sleep well tonight wishing I had in my stall
"Dark red (rare color!)
The engine and turbo work great
The Transmission works great
-280k on the car it has been well cared for and will go to 400k easy
-Freshly rebuilt head ensures another 200K"

I wonder if its a late # head? For that price I'd want to see it up close and drive it.
Now, if you need a reference to a good shop on the Peninsula I have a couple of places. PM me.
I'm not employed in the car repair biz any longer but if I was I'd help you out with some donated labor.
