I forgot to mention that the owner of the 300SD that I bought also has a 1980 300D that doesn't run. He bought it and discovered that the timing was off. He replaced the chain and brought it back into spec, but it still isn't right. He thinks it may have bent/damaged valves causing low compression to the point where it catches but doesn't quite start. It has a nice body and interior, good for parts or ready for an engine swap. He's asking $400 for it, and it has 135K on the clock. If you would like to contact him, call (541)619-6490 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
