W123 300d Turbo Diesel California Model on 2040-cars
Michigan City, Indiana, United States
|
Please read the entire description, I'm including some tools as well. Selling my 85 300d turbo diesel. Its a California model that has 225k miles on it. Car was optioned with leather interior and for the most part the interior is in great shape. I intend to be as honest as possible in my description. Service records are fairly complete but I can tell you what I've done in the past two years. CV axles (china) comes with originals, rear sway bar links, front wheel bearings, shocks (all four), front upper control arms, air conditioning compressor, tires, rebuilt injectors with monarch nozzles, recent valve job, replaced all hvac vacuum actuator, rear door lock actuator, fixed one of the rear window regulator (pass rear needs fixing). I think that's about it. This car currently has no vacuum leaks, all doors lock and unlock. Car can sit for well over a week and still unlock all doors. Originated from California so it has very minimal to no rust. I've never had the car not start due to cold weather (<0F) runs excellent very little smoke under WOT. Truly a pleasure to drive down the highway.
The bad: front drivers seat could use a little tlc, the leather has separated from the lower frame. Dash has a small crack in it (pictured), Rear end chunks on down shift and when going from R to D however, it's done this since I've had it and I'm not concerned about it. The paint on the hood roof and trunk is sun faded however the body is extremely clean there is only one small dent that I know of. Other then that the body is very good shape, I was going to have the car repainted but I decided I preferred the look of the patina on the roof, hood and trunk. Cruise control works, but not that great. Sometimes the AUTO setting on HVAC controls doesn't bring the fan on, just have to turn it on high and set back to auto. Air conditioning compressor was replaced recently and the A/C works however it recently began making a noise, I did have the belts of recently so it could just be a loose belt but its been cool out so I haven't been using it Car was originally from California spent some years in AZ as well (from service records). Its a very clean car and I hate to see it go I just have too many projects right now. I have the original sales receipt for the vehicle, maintenance history is also fairly complete. If there are more questions regarding this I can take pictures of it when I return home tomorrow. I have several specialty tools that will go with the car as well as instructions for various maintenance things. Injector pop tester (with guide), valve adjustment wrenches (with guide), Diesel compression test kit, Pre-chamber removal tool, glow plug reamer, there may be others but that's all I can think of you will get what I have. Please keep in mind this car is in very good shape for its age and it has been taken care of and maintained and it also comes with most tools necessary to keep it maintained. These cars are a lot of fun to own but keep in mind it is almost 30 years old I would recommend being able to perform maintenance and willing to work on it. Please email me if you have any questions. I will be able to provide additional pictures upon request. I would not hesitate driving this car anywhere! |

2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
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.
Rare Isdera Imperator 108i flexes its considerable muscles
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The Isdera Imperator 108i is a remarkably rare supercar from the late 80s and early 90s. Born of a Mercedes-Benz concept car, it's powered by a range of AMG-developed V8s, with five to six liters of displacement, depending on the engine. The example shown here, lapping the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, features the most potent 6.0-liter V8 available. And rather than just being driven about on a perfectly clean racing line, it's freaking power sliding!
Yes, there's something eternally childlike about a wedge-shaped supercar from our formative years being flung about a Belgian racetrack. Adding to the appeal is the Imperator's stumpy, periscopic rear mirror, sticking out of the roof. Even after being out of production for 20 years, this is still a wild, wild car and we'd happily snap up the opportunity pilot one of the 36 Isderas that were built. Take a look below for the full video from Spa.
