I drove a 1976 300D many years ago (a year or two before Ol' Turbo and this forum) and loved it. They were asking $900 for it, and it was the original elderly owners. Unfortunately it had more rust than I wanted to deal with, but it drove fantastically. Its very simple and elegant.

Take pictures and report, of course.
