Running, in presentable condition, I see 1980's 300D and 300SD around me asking $2500 on craigslist and has been that way for 2 decades. I doubt they will ever gain classic value like a 1960's muscle car.

$2500.....ouch. Just ouch.
That is painful to hear. REALLY painful...given how much I've sunk into it.
It would be a whole other discussion but wondering what sort of demand there would be for parts, if I chose to just part it out. But even then, that would mean having the car sitting in the garage in an even worse 'looking' condition to the wife...for some completely undetermined period of time....which would drive her INSANE.
