Default 300D Turbo 1983

Fellas I just picked up a nice deal for a 300d no leaks or smoking but thiers one small issue I need to take car of otherwise the car is very highway worthy.. I notice upon acceleration the car has a shaking underneath if I press the accelerator pedal too hard know if I take it nice and easy on the pedal thiers not a problem.. but also if I get on the freeway or highway and hit speeds of say 60 plus the vibratation is realy strong. Any ideas before I take it too the shop?

Sounds like drive-shaft bearing dampener is gone. Expect more rubber parts requiring replacement on 23-years old car. Otherwise it will last forever.
Congratulation on new car.

So what do you think it will cost to get done?

I think it would take me about 2 HR on my driveway, but if you go to a dealer, that charge $120/hr, the bill have a tendency to go into 4-digits very fast.
