An acquaintance of mine is wanting to sell me his W116 300SD. It frankly sounds like a basket case. He says it has no rust, but "needs a new crankshaft (?!) and the AC doesn't work, and the heater blower doesn't work, and the vacuum system is leaking (has to use the stop lever to shut it off). In that condition, with a straight face, he said he was asking $4000.
If the crank problem is a loose harmonic balancer, and you can drill/pin it to tighten it back up, the car is worth $400 easy. (actually, if you time the market well, you might get $400 for it as scrap metal, it's a heavy car)
