i'm looking for a manual 240D for the body (little or no rust, suspension in good shape etc.). i have an engine for it, so if it doesn't run or has issues that's okay. i live in central vermont, so i need something within a few hours of here. please call 802-454-8360 or email yarrow8339@hotmail.com me if you've got a lead! thanks. j.d. williams

I hope you find it, but it is going to be tough. But there are some around.

1983 Mercedes W123 240D 4 Speed 285,000 on the road with a 617 turbo, beautiful butter yellow, license plate # 83 240D INDIANA

2003 Jaguar Type X, AWD. beautiful, good mileage,
Mom's car, but I won't let her drive it!

I would expand my search area to warmer climates if you want to find a rust-free body.

it was 60* here the other day !! i've done that before, but thought i'd try my luck around here first.

mine came from cooperstown ny... but it was just about the same situation you're in... the only difference is im the idiot trying to catch the rust before the whole thing just falls into pieces.

My neice has one with an automatic in Ashville for sale for $1200. Absolutely NO RUST ANYWHERE but it needs a paint job and the interior is a little rough. The engine was rebuilt a few years ago with new pistons/sleeves. The car will be brought back to Macon, Ga this coming weekend and will be put on ebay over the next couple weeks.

I am second owner, first owner imported it from Germany. A School teacher and had it service regularly. She spent over $2k on the AC before I bought it.
I was going to go bio and lost interest. Nice car. You would have no regrets.

Clean and runs like a top but I'm in Utah... it would drive to VT ..no problem.

I have an '81 automatic 240D in Maine, that I am contemplating giving up on. See my 1/15 post. Compression issues. The body is totally sound, just drove it up from South Carolina last April where it lived its whole life. Not ready to give up on it yet, but the timing of your post is perhaps fortuitous.

I remember that pic from seems like a couple of years ago. Weren't you fishing with your dad or something like that? {I reserve the right to be completely wrong, btw...}

**edit**
Aha!

Jimmy, Just think what a little wax could do.

I already know what a VERY LITTLE bit of wax can do.......
