I drove neighbors about 150 miles in late '80s. Solid little car, Handled okay, and would have been more successful if it had springs. It was the roughest riding car I'd ever driven. It went bankrupt, Chrysler owned it a while, and now Peugeot-Citroen owns it. The company was founded in the '30s

Thanks again, another nugget to add to my body of knowledge. If I decide to take the plunge and move up to a 210 or 163, this sounds like a good investment. Might also be very useful with my 124 cabriolet. - Max Charleston SC On Sun, Oct 14, 2018 at 7:57 AM Dan Penoff via Mercedes <

I could see doing it.  We would need to cobble up some post-apocalyptic Benz machine, maybe Clay could get us started with one of his creations.  I'm thinking 123 diesel for sure, but with some madmaxian touches.  Maybe this rusted-out wagon I have here could be a good starting point. https:/
