Hey all- Realistically what is an '81 300SD worth in parts? Decent engine w/148k and low compression (needs shots of ether to start), decent trans that shifts well, complete trim, wheels, seats, etc... Body needs paint and some rust repair. Really want to unload this car and trying to get a fair market viewpoint from some folks in the know. Car is complete and ran until I parked it in October. Thanks!

 

The value of the car is completely based on whether or not it has a good engine and a straight, clean body. Your best bet to maximize your return on this car would most likely be to disassemble it and part it out separately.
