1984 Mercedes-benz 300d Base Sedan 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Metamora, Illinois, United States
|
1984 Mercedes-Benz 300 D Body has significant rust underneath. Both rear control arms are rusted. The right side is nearly broken and thus the car should not be driven for any great distance. This car has been my daily driver for 5 years and I have enjoyed it very much, but the rust has gotten the better of it and I have no time to or interest in fixing the control arms. It was a midwest car from day one, so the salt as taken its toll. The OM 617 Engine runs fine. Radiator was replaced when I bought the car. Transmission is good, but has the flare between 2 and 3. I believe that can be remedied with a valve kit. It never was very bad so I never bothered with it. The prop shaft and joints are fine. Rear end is fine and the cv shafts were replaced with Chinese replacements a few years back. No problems with those. The 4 Bunt rims are not bent. There is a chrome bunt spare as well. Snow tires are on the rear wheels. Decent Pirrelli tires are on the front and the other 2 will come with the car. All glass is good. Dash and driver's seat are cracked. Climate control works. Brakes are good. Rear window sashes are rusted so the motors are unhooked. Front windows work fine. Becker stereo still works, antenna is shot. Unsure if tape deck works. Cruise works when it feels like it. This would be a good investment for the parts. Or if you wanted to put control arms on it and keep ahead of the other rust, the car could live on. I hate to just throw all these good parts away for scrap. Good clean title in hand.

Anything you want to know just ask. Pictures can be mailed to you. |

Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
Mercedes-Benz CLA stars in sweeping short with supermodel Karlie Kloss
Wed, 16 Jan 2013The Mercedes-Benz CLA earned itself a spot on our list of the top five unveils of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and for good reason. The German luxury compact is the first small car from the Silver Arrow that looks suitably premium inside and out. Nowness.com has turned out a new video of the CLA featuring super model Karlie Koss in the lead role. We aren't entirely sure what the premise is, but from what we can tell, it looks as if the CLA comes to life and proceeds to be a giant jerk.
After Koss stops to take a closer look at a white horse, the CLA gives the supermodel the old stop-and-go treatment before leaving her on the side of the road. Eventually, the sedan makes nice, but Koss has to ride shotgun instead of taking the controls herself. You can check out the video below to see for yourself.
