I’ve got an 85 Mercedes wagon that I just won’t have time to get to. It’s a good runner, and has 175k or so I drove it back from CT without issue… mostly everything works, and the engine is tight and does not smoke or make any unusual noises. I have a pretty decent service history for the car, and with a little work could last another 20 years the good- -dash is crack free- -engine/trans is very tight -well maintained -Self leveling rear suspension works The car will need some work like I said- -its got some rust issues- mainly around the rear wheel wells and rockers. the frame and underside is pretty solid, and the body parts are available for about 250-300$ (I’ve sourced them all) -it will need tires ASAP -the brakes are just a little weak. may need to be bled, or the calipers in the rear may be sticking, not sure. all and all, a good car, I just won’t have time to get to it. asking 2300 or BO. ![http://www.ultimatekayakfishing.com/forums/uploads/1191547618/med_gallery_308_57_153528.jpg](http://www.ultimatekayakfishing.com/forums/uploads/1191547618/med_gallery_308_57_153528.jpg) ![http://www.ultimatekayakfishing.com/forums/uploads/1191547618/med_gallery_308_57_200967.jpg](http://www.ultimatekayakfishing.com/forums/uploads/1191547618/med_gallery_308_57_200967.jpg) ![http://www.ultimatekayakfishing.com/forums/uploads/1191547618/med_gallery_308_57_214879.jpg](http://www.ultimatekayakfishing.com/forums/uploads/1191547618/med_gallery_308_57_214879.jpg) ---

And with the manual you can keep revs low and use the turbo to pull you through. An awesome project though for anyone! just search for those 2 MB diesels on you tube that are blowing donuts and drifting.
