I found a long-parked 1974(?) Mercedes 220D. I did a quick wiki search and found that they were offered from 1968-1974. My question is, is this a good kind of rare or an Edsel kind of rare? 240Ds have their place, but is the 220D something that would be worth putting some money into or would a more common Mercedes diesel be a better choice?
