I just called. They said they've had a lot of people look at it, but no takers yet. If I had the time, I would buy it just to part out. The 85 specific items like turbo and differential should make it worthwhile.

Coach, sorry I hijacked your thread. Let's try to get this thing back on track. Some things on general W123 condition to help you decide if the car is worth buying. Lift the carpets and look for moisture and rust in the floor pans. Check lower quarter panels for rust - pull out the trunk liners on the sides and check there too. Pay attention to how the transmission shifts. And at that price I'd surely expect no climate control. And as stated earlier, nailing will be up high in the engine, while a rod knock will be down low.
