Up for sale is my 1976 Mercedes 300 Diesel (115 body style E Class).
I bought this car as a daily driver with the intension of restoring it. As tends to be the case I am way to busy, travel to much and do nnot have the time this car deserves.
Increasingly hard to find the 300 Diesel was the fisrt ever 5 cylinder diesel engine in the world which Mercedes later added a Turbo for the 116, 126 and 123 series cars.
Even harder to find are ones with a sun roof and this has one and it works.
I love this car and were it not for my busy schedule would never sell it.
Everything in the car works however the aircondtioning (it will work and both heater and air conditioning fans work) needs a recharge and the central locking does not hold its vacuum.
The car needs new window seal front and rear (I have these new and are included in the sale).
The car is rock solid with very (and I mean VERY minimal surface rust).
I have a bunch of spares for the car which, if the full selling price of $3800) is achieved I will include:
Front and rear chassis mounts, Hirschman Electric Antenna (Standard manual Hirschman is fitted). Sun roof felt seals (Very hard to find), replacement windscreen wiper rubbers (original Mercedes Benz) Spare front and rear windows, 4 spare doors with electric windows, trunk seal, electric windo wiring harness complete with switches, relays and fuses, chrome trim for a complete car, complete differential and drive shafts (correct ratio), original Becker Radio (working), seats, seat covers, head rests and way much more.
The car drives and srtarts great with a fully working glow plug system and shuts of on the key as it should. Gearbox is great, does not slip and changes up and down as it should.
The electric windows, sun roof and central locking works as does the power steering, brakes and parking brake.
The only negative in this car is that it has a dent in the rear left quarter. A relatively simple body and paint.
The car has new tires including the spare and has 4 original color coded hub caps.
User hand book and tools along with vehicle jack and 1 gal reserve can of fuel are included.
The car has a clean title and is declared non op but has a fully charged battery and can be driven away.
I would hope this car finds a good home and will live for another 40 years.
The engine, chassis, transmission, brakes are strong, gets great gas mileage (around 22 in town) and would be a great car for anyone.
Please bid with confidence and bid responsible.
Please do no expect a perfect car but I have described the car fully. This car is 37 years old. Great ones sell for $8000, really good sell for $15000 and I have seen many a pos advertized for way more than this one. This car is goodand is easily a daily user with reliability and logevity.
The car is offered sale else where and I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you want to own this car you do need to bid to win.

Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
