For Sale: \'82 Mercedes 300D *SOLD*
1982 Mercedes 300D turbodiesel.
The 5 cylinder 3.0 liter engine was completely rebuilt a few thousand miles ago. We had the engine opened up to replace a cracked valve guide and decided to do a total rebuild.
The auto trans was replaced with a FACTORY NEW transmission, also a few thousand miles ago.
The automatic climate control/air conditioning is working perfectly. Just replaced the A/C compressor with a good take-off from another car and charged the system up. We converted it to R134a, and it blows COLD!
Pretty much the whole front end (suspension, steering, etc...) has been replaced, and it drives like a dream.
The interior is in great shape. The wood looks nice and you won't believe the MB Tex interior is 22 years old. The previous owner (my cousin) covered the front seats in sheepskins, so they were protected from sun and wear for many years. The sheepskins are still in there... but the seats look great underneath.
Everything works. This is not your average 22 year old Mercedes. The body looks very good. There are a few small rust spots, but nothing structural or unsightly. I'll have pictures as soon as I get a chance to clean the car up.
This car is in exceptional condition because it was maintained by my father -- a diesel Mercedes mechanic and guru. No expense was spared... no corners cut. You will have a hard time finding someone who knows more about these cars than my father. The car has been in our family for many years, and is only being replaced because my cousin bought a newer diesel Mercedes.
I would really like to keep this car... but cannot afford to add a third car to my insurance
