Thats right, yesterday a 1982 300SD popped up on craigslist here locally, so I went and looked at it, BEAUTIFUL car! Engine has 313,164 and cracked a pison, so the owner did not want it anymore. We bought it for $700, and had it flatbedded to our house, only an 8 mile trip!

It has new 15" 8 hole MB wheels + brand new tires
It has Euro Lights + a spare set of Glass lenses in the trunk
It has a spare monovalve repair kit
Free weather radio
NO RUST ON THE CAR AT ALL, never driven in the winter!
Tinted windows
Interior is almost perfect blue leather!
Free high end radar detector
Original Med Kit
Recently installed perfect trailer hitch
All bushings on suspension and steering are in excellent shape
Sits level
Mint MB exhaust

Overall the car is incredibly nice

The engine is dead, and will need to be replaced (or rebuilt), so we are looking for a used 617 turbo....anyone have one?

Two power window motors are dead, one has a bad regulator, and one works fine. Drivers seat bottom has collapsed spring box.

Other than that its perfect. Here are a ton of pics!
