What would be a fair offer price on a 78 300CD with 250K on the clock.
Assuming that some major bits have yet to be done (timing chain, etc.) and plenty of small bits (mounts, etc.)
what would the more experienced members consider paying for such a beast?
The interior is said to be in great shape and "everything works".
I'm also assuming there is no rust as this is a California car, and that there is no major issues with the engine or transmission. Finally what "field tests" would you run to see how it looks (besides crawling around it with a flashlight, driving it, and possibly the tea kettle test* for blowby)?
Thanks as always
