Need some help
I am putting together a plan for entering a W202 C280 in the Chump Car series, but I need some help. If you are like me, you probably spend a decent amount of time on Craigslist and Club202, etc. If you come across any ads for a 94 or 95 C280 for under $500, please save the ad as a PDF or JPEG and post it up here in this thread. It can have some body damage (fender bender) but it needs to at least start up, even if it runs rough. Thanks for any leads you can provide!

I'd have to find 10 to make it work and I just don't think that would happen on the C36. The second half of my plan is to run the car for a year or two in Chump and then make some suspension and braking upgrades coupled with a C36 engine swap and race in NASA German Touring Series. Still probably 8 months to a year from getting started, but finding the ads on a C280 may take more time than actually building the car so best to get started.
