Vehicle description
This is a 1984 Mercedes 300D Sedan.
* had trouble registering the VIN in eBay- it is WDB1231301A080507 * *
This car is "special" because it was imported from Europe.
Comes with the original service manual in German, and some other odds and ends.
This car has an automatic transmission, manual windows, power sunroof, power passenger window, manual climate control, among other things.
I purchased this car as a project, and this is how far it went.
I replaced both front brake lines, some calipers. Had the front suspension redone. The fuel lines were very clogged with rust, put in a third filter and I think most of the crud is gone.
Replaced radiator with larger radiator, thermostat, alternator, oil and filters, automatic transmission oil and filter.
The engine has an OK time starting. It doesn"t seem like there"s any blowback, but I believe the fuel injectors are clogged.
There was a bit of rust on the underside. I did my best to clear it and POR it and prepare it to be completed, but I realized I was an amateur and the car deserves better, but at least it"s stopped.
Aside from injectors and rear axle, the car needs body work.
It also needs some attention to the rear-passenger axle / wheel bearing, it makes a clicking noise after 1-4 hours driving, that goes away when you come to a stop, but comes back and is enough of an issue that it is the only impediment to driving extremely long distances.
Has a little bit of an exhaust leak in the front stages.
Aside from needing numerous instances of TLC to various small details, she runs and drives.
Other than that, she"s been good to me.
I"ll be sad to see her go.
Battery is OK, brakes are fine, wheels are OK but one might have to be replaced.
Sold as-is!
I"m selling some other MB W123 300D parts this week, please look at my other auctions.
Thank you.
Contact me if you have any questions. Good luck.
