Garage
new to me 78 300D

A couple of years ago I bought my SC. The car was like a time machine, everything worked and there was not one original wire cut to add or delete anything. My wife fell in love with it as she has a great appreciation for 70s German cars. fast forward to last Thursday... A friend of mine ( a 90 Y.O. gentleman named Jim ) asked me if I would be interested in looking at a female friends car, a 1978 Mercedes. He bragged it up a bit. I told him with the new baby wasn't really in the market to buy a car. Thursday night my wife and I went to look at it just to humor Jim. Mrs Crusty fell in love with the car. Now it is in my garage, kind of makes my SC look like it was rode hard and put up wet. 140K miles Dealer service stamps every 3500 miles since new and it looks like nobody has ever even sat in the thing.
