Port Charlotte, Florida, United States

1995 Mercedes 300D  209k miles

White, with rare grey leather interior, converted to run on WVO or diesel.

This car is non running, so needs to be towed from its current location in FL 33981

So here is the good.

This car was my daily driver till the ip quit. Then I decided to go through everything and I started out with replacing all glow plugs. While they were out I checked compression, the values were 380 to 400 PSI all across. Next I installed new Bozio injectors for $450

Then my job relocated me to Seattle and I had to stop working on it.

The car originally came form Los Angeles and I bought it in the Midwest. So it has no rust besides some superficial. Its paint is original and still quite nice but will need a good wax. The body is straight and never been in an accident while I owned it or that I can tell. It has a hitch and I towed my jet ski with it. Would not want to tow anything large with this car. The interior is very clean with only a few blemishes.

Tranny shifts  like it should, and the tires are also still decent all around.

The bad, as I said earlier it needs to be towed from its current location. And there are a few things missing. Like the gas tank and maybe a bolt or bracket. I tried to keep everything together, but a few minor things might have gone missing. Just want to point that out.

To bring it back to running condition will require a gas tank and a ip installed and a few odds and ends so it should not be too big of a project for somebody who knows how to work on these older Mercedes. 

Please note that at time of pick up the payment will be in cash and  the car is sold as is.

The only form of payment accepted will be cash.

Upon  auction winning please send via paypal $200.00 within 1 day  which is non refundable but credited towards purchase price. Pickup of the car must be within 5 days unless other arrangements are made with me via phone conversation.

Remainder payable in cash upon picking up of the car.

If there are any questions please feel free to contact me and I will try to answer as clear and accurate as possible. Please also look at the pics closely as to its condition.

Also the car can be inspected prior to auction end at any time.  Just  make arrangements with me ahead of time.

Happy bidding J

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.

In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
