1978 Mercedes Benz 300D, excellent condition.

1978 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series Additional Info:

This lovely car runs as good as it looks. It has a factory rebuilt 1982 engine, same engine except the later one takes the more modern A/C compressor. There is a plate riveted to the front of the block that is put there by the factory when they rebuild an engine. It's a little too hidden to get a decent pic of it but it can be seen. Transmission is also from an '82, better unit than the earlier design. Engine was fitted without the turbo set up for ease of maintenance and better fuel mileage, original turbo unit is available if desired. The list of recent work is extensive, including but not limited to tires 12K miles ago, alternator and battery, brakes, cooling system (radiator, water pump, thermostat, belts, hoses and pressure tank), suspension front and rear as required, valves adjusted, air and fuel filters, A/C serviced including new hoses, receiver-drier and expansion valve, new oil cooler hoses, driveshaft couplings and center bearing, motor and trans mounts and more I'm not thinking of right now. The horrible original climate control servo has been removed, the A/C and heater are manually switched now.Absolutely rust free AZ car, never wrecked.This is a rare classic car that can be a daily driver or a solid road trip car. I am currently using it to commute a 35 mile round trip to work so the mileage will be increasing.When I built this car I was never planning on selling it, but life is what happens while we are making plans they say. Someone is going to get the benefits of my investment in time and money for a fraction of the value of my time and the new parts.While my personal account is new, I have been selling on eBay for years as part of my job.
