1979 Mercedes-Benz 300D

This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300D sedan with new paint is powered by a rebuilt 3.0L inline 5-cylinder diesel engine connected to a 3-speed automatic transmission. It comes equipped with several new cosmetic and mechanical parts, including the windshield, sunroof and rear window seals, shocks, steering stabilizer, and half axles. Refinished in Astro Silver over a black vinyl interior, this rust-free W123-series Mercedes is available now and comes with documentation, manuals, a first aid kit, and a clear Washington title in the seller’s name.

The body was repainted in its reportedly original Astro Silver in November of 2021 and has chrome and stainless trim, emblems, and handles. The front bumper is chrome with a black impact strip and is mounted below the grille and U.S.-spec headlights. The rear bumper is chrome with a black impact strip and located below the tri-color taillights and center-mounted license plate. The seller reports the brightwork is in excellent condition. New parts include the windshield and seal, sunroof and rear window seals, window scrapers, and electric antenna.

The 15-inch wheels wear full body-color hubcaps wrapped in radial tires.

The interior is furnished with front bucket seats covered in black vinyl and a matching rear bench seat. Black vinyl is carried onto all four door panels, which are equipped with armrests, power lock switches, and chrome exit handles. Black carpet covers the entire cabin floor. The seller states the dashboard has a small crack in it. A black center console with the power window switches and automatic shifter separates the front seats. The steering column is topped with a 4-spoke steering wheel with a black rim. The original safety triangle is mounted under the trunk lid.

Engine and vehicle data is conveyed through a 115-mph speedometer showing 248,760 miles, a clock, and gauges for the coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure.

The engine is a 3.0-liter inline 5-cylinder diesel backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission. According to the seller, the engine was fully reconditioned 150 miles ago by a professional diesel mechanic who specializes in Mercedes vehicles. The updated engine components include the reconditioned head, piston rings, all engine bearings, all gaskets including the front and rear main seals, timing chain and guides, radiator, and thermostat. According to the seller, all fluids have been changed. Additional new parts include the shocks, steering stabilizer, and half axles. The rebuilt brake calipers clamp down on new brake pads.

Documentation, manuals, and a first aid kit will be included with the sale of the car.
