The wiring was in excellent shape, pliable and soft. The owner even said he got a replacement harness.

Being the gasoline is 5 years old it had to be the reason for the no start, starting fluid allowed it to putter to life, so it's a fuel issue?

The SD I sold last year - https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/d/1983-mercedes-benz-300sd/6625305898.html



Well maintained by forum member PO. Excellent highway cruiser. R-12 AC works but has expansion valve leak. Antenna sometimes drains battery if you don’t drive it for a few days so I left it disconnected.

I just got the registration renewal notice so it’s probably being sold with my title.

I wonder if he ever changed the oil ? .

Yeah, right ~ just ignore the completely rusted through trunk lid then it has no rust.....

Three W123TD's for $900 -could- be a good thing, depends on the rust .

Local to me, three brutally beat down wagons for the not faint of heart - these are NOT from the guy I bought mine from, but I had seen a few oddball diesel postings coming out of Ripley, OH lately....
