I just lost my 79 300D to a cracked head, due to overheating...and I didn't want to pay the $3K to fix (rust and other issues didn't make it seem like a good choice).

I have a lead on a 1970 200D, manual transmission, 53K original miles that has been kept in storage by a collector for the last 10 years. It was driven a times a year. Supposedly everything is mint, in and out. Only think that doesn't work is the AC. List is $5K, but a friend of the owner thinks I could get it for $4K.

Looking for opinions from any 220 owners, or opinions on that model in general. I am a novice mechanic, can perform all basic tasks but nothing over complex (no lift, and not a huge supply of tools).

Is this worth buying?

Thanks,
Marty
