We only paid 300 for an 83 300SD. Im using the engine out of the wrecked benz for a replacement. Nice thing is that this car only has 145k on it, and was stored properly. The rear end is pretty banged up, and the front end is missing fenders and a radiator. Interior is in decent shape with two front perfect condition leather seats. I may pull the power steering gearbox out as a replacement and part out the rest.
Brought home a wrecked benz today.
