Once the restoration is done on your grandfathers car, ditch the 190

The DD that was eating my lunch that I ditched was a 1980 Lincoln Town Car I bought new in December 1979. It had 270K on the odometer, and I had just paid for new suspension $2K new remanufactured long block and heater core replacement that was $3.5K. That was 25 yrs ago.
So then I came across a 1 owner 83 300SD with 93K. I paid $11,950.00 for the SD, and sold the Lincoln for $2,750.00. The SD was a dream come true in a low cost DD I drove to 305K. You'll never regret keeping a non-rusting, MB diesel - W123/126, IMO.
