There's a guy down the road, whos got a 1987 SDL for sale. It was his project car, and its a bit of a Franken-car; I'm interested in it bc. I have a 86 300SDL w/ 263K. My engine is solid but seriously gunged up by the WVO loving hippie who owned it before me. His engine was rebuilt *by him* my tranny is telling me its going to die soon. His is just as old but has a lot less miles.

Should I buy it for $700.00 as a "strategic parts reserve"

or behind door # 2

Swap my pristene interior out of my car and into his frankencar, and call it a day?
