HI.... I have a 1971 220 Diesel..... 502,000 miles and going..... Had it 8 years now and still love it.. Have started to slowly repairing it to have a show/daily driver.

Holy Mackeral. You will have an instant following in the diesel section.

HAHAHA Why is that?

They will for sure ask him why his rear end is sitting so low. Some will guess that he has an extra fuel tank back there, others, a dead body, and some will claim that it's because he has no engine (which is ok, since they can go another 59k miles on reputation alone).

Nice 220 - keep it going Colorado

Thanks!!! The back is low because I am parked on a slope... it's a bad picture............That and my rear springs need replaced.... Where is a great place to get new springs other than dealerships?

I honestly don't know....BUT! - If you put your original post in the Diesel discussion, you will sooner or later receive advice/link(s) as to where you can get new springs. If you want to save time, use the search function - there is a plethora of information on this site - hours...nay...DAYS of reading.

Cool...Thanks!!!

You'll have a following because with a 220d at this elevation, there'll be a huge line of traffic behind you as you crawl up to the Eisenhower tunnel.

Welcome aboard.

If it is, and he has a pair long enough, he could drive on them, strap the tires down, and "ski" down the hill faster than he could drive it.
