Peter, My 1980 300SD was sold in the Atlanta area and has spent its entire life in Georgia. It has rarely ever been exposed to salt. Hence, the body is in excellent shape. I had the leather and seat pads redone about 18 years ago and they are still fine. It starts a little slow when it's below 30 degrees, but starts fine in warmer weather. It still has good power/acceleration and is a joy to drive. If you like your 87, I'd fix it up. I'm sure it still has better material in it than the new models. Best Wishes, Roger Roger Hale Dinnerware Classics, Inc. Monroe, Ga. 770-267-0850 www.dinnerwareclassics.com
