Regardless of milage claim, the 2k asking price is a steal....specially if it has had the whole suspension overhauled....if I was local with the cash, I would be calling. Very nice car!

Sounds like a car worth looking at. I would....except I just picked up the E300D and am at my limit of three.
I wish I had a limit oc three....

it was a lot of effort and probably not all that safe.
I'm getting about 950miles to a tank in the 87 Champagne ---- odometer is clicking about 2.5 times actual

yes worth looking at especially at 2 grand

from what I remember the interior was ugly but details of from memory are sketchy

the rest of the car was really clean and it ran nice

Not possible. My bone-stock, '83 300SD never got over 32 mpg in 305K miles in the 8-years I drove it every day. If it could have done "50 mpg" I would have duplicated it in my old SD at least once in those miles.
