1991 Mercedes Benz 350 Sdl 6 Cyl Diesel Classic on 2040-cars

Mercedes Benz

1991 Mercedes Benz 350 SDL 6 CYL Diesel Car. This is a True Classic that is rapidly disappearing from the Highways. Its a wonderful Car for the Wide Open Road and traveling with lots of room and many features. This car was purchased by me from a Dealer in 2006 in Richmond, Virginia and the oil & filters was changed and drove to Florida where I discussed the problems with an Old time friend, of 40 years, who is Mercedes Benz mechanic and we discussed the issue and the issues lies with Mercedes Benz and should have had at the time a recall by Mercedes Benz because the connecting rods used was from a 300 gas motor and was to light for diesel motors. At approx. 100,000 to 150,000 miles the connecting rods would twist causing a problem in the valve trane of the engine. It was therefore when I decided to rebuild the motor. No expense was sparred.... I replaced the Pistons, connecting rods, bearings, all valves and valve guides, New Crank Shaft, Camshaft & all Hydraulic lifters, vacuum pump, oil pump and timing chains and finally replaced the engine block sleeves to match with the new pistons. While the engine was out we overhauled the transmission and replaced the pump, torque converter and clutch plates. I have then since put 80,000 miles on the New rebuilt engine. I replaced the brake system  with Otto Zimmerman rotors and ceramic brake pads. I wanted to Drive the car in Florida and also in the North Carolina Mountains so I replaced the standard shocks with adjustable koni shocks. Next I rebuilt the total under carriage with new tie rods, ball joints, transfer rods and all rubber to accommodate the new special rims. I have complete records to everything that was done with the car that will be included with the Sale. Also included are numerous spare parts as seen in pictures including Filters and more. This Car has always been garaged Kept and Adult owned and driven. The car does show normal wear for its age and usage. I have tried to include some up close pictures. Please ask all questions before placing your bid. The Car was only in production for 2 years and Not many left especially in this condition.  Shipping and Delivery will be the responsibility of the Buyer.
