I have two concerns about that statement. First, a mid 70s would be a W115 chassis, while a late 70s would be a W123 chassis. The differences are significant.

Second, the 300D didn't come with a turbo in the 70s. If someone added a turbo to a normally aspirated engine, then that might be cause for concern. Or they might have swapped in a later engine, which is not a bad thing, but you would want to know it.

At any rate, $2000C is too much money for a rusty car.
