Des Moines, Iowa

Beautiful 1982 300SD Turbodiesel Astro Silver Exterior - Black InteriorThis car has been babied during its 33 years of existence. Engine runs strong and should for a lifetime to come. This is the W126 style of Mercedes that holds the record for the longest running car (over 3,000,000 miles!). It is all steel and very safe because of it, easy to work on, and parts are cheap since so many of them are still around (in production from 1979-1991).Here is a list of the thing that have been repaired/replaced-New Battery-New Alternator-New gas line and gas line filter-Wheel Bearings replaced-CD player in Dash (with bluetooth - yippee!)-New thermostat-New Tires-New Monovalve-New Blower Motor Regulator-Some New Vacuum HoseHere are some things that I have the parts for but have not addressed yet-The starter doesn't like to work when it gets really hot (let's face it neither do I). I have a brand new starter but have not put it in yet-I have purchased new fuel injector nozzles, but have not put them in yet. This will make for smoother idling and as they are slightly larger than the original ones, a little more horsepower(vroom)-I have some German Valve wrenches to adjust the valves to OEM specs to allow for easier starts and smoother idling. -I will throw all extra parts in with the purchaseHere is a few other items worth noting-It's an old Diesel, it sounds like a diesel and uses oil like a diesel, but it will get you about 30mpg on the highway. Not bad for a 33 year old 5,000lb car.-It has a half dollar size rust spot on the front passenger door. I have included a picture so you know what you are getting yourself into. There is no rust under the car, or really any where else I can find.-This would be a great candidate for a WVO/SVO conversionThis car is awesome, but my wife tells me that I need fewer projects so this one has to go! This is my baby so take care of it!
