Admit it: you want this car.
The Internet's been awfully excited about this rather improbable auction for a functional W123 300TD El Camino, and with just two days left to, bidding's cleared ten grand.
This, mind you, for a car with a broken hydraulic system and broken A/C.
And the reserve still hasn't been hit.
It will be interesting to see the final price, because this is the sort of thing that everybody says they want… right until one appears. This would be a hell of a utility vehicle for some urban DINKs or an older farmer who liked driving into town. The only question would be: how often will it break? And if you actually spend twenty grand buying the thing (or more), how much more will it cost to make it work right? Jack's Rule Of Auction Cars: all the easy stuff is fixed when it's listed.
It's still a hell of an automobile, however… and it would be nice to see it pacing the field at a LeMons race.
