It has recently occurred to me that, if I die when I ought to, I will leave at least a dozen major projects unfinished, and realistically, it would be wise to shorten the list. Hence this post.

Would anyone perhaps be interested in purchasing an inop 1982 300SD.

The good: Florida car, no rust other than one corner of the sun roof. 155K on the clock (had 145K when I bought it). Tires @ 75%, AC works, as do all accessories including windows & roof, interior fair to good, no major issues (hate to say excellent, it is 24yrs old). New parts installed include: vacuum pump, engine shut down valve, windshield washer pump, wheel bearings, glo-plugs and relay, belts, fuel return lines, aux fan. Parts in the trunk include a new rear window gasket and a 247 rear end.

The bad: slight dent/crease in drivers side rear door, po must have been to close to something, bumper trim is slightly misaligned on same side.

The very bad: started losing oil pressure, I shut down at 1 bar idling (had previously idled at just under 2), and trailered it home. Appears to have spun a bearing, pulled the pan and found one small piece of brass (possibly from shoulder of a thrust bearing). Car has been sitting since.

If someone might think it would be worth $2,000, or thereabouts, pm me and I will take some photos. My schedule for the rest of the week is maxed, but if there is any interest, I can pull it out of the barn on Monday and take some shots.

Cheers,
Jim
