93 300D 5 -speed for sale

Hello all,

I have a '93 300D 2.5 turbo with a 5-speed installed up for sale.

Car is in good shape, has 255K on it and is gray with cream beige interior.

What I have done:

Installed tranny from 1984 190E 2.3 5 speed.
Swapped rear differential from 2.65 to 3.27 gearing.
New injectors and delivery valve seals.
Installed new IWIS timing chain.
Installed rims from a 99 SLK.
Plus many more odds and ends.......

Car has had a high quality repaint EXCEPT for the rear passenger door and side of roof (Why in the world the PO did this, I have no clue!!!). Looks good going down the road but obvious up close. Why was it painted? Car has a Salvage title due to a rear end collision at some point in the 90's.

If the salvage title doesn't scare you, this is a nice car. Interior is excellent, all accessories work including the climate control. Runs fine except for a pesky lope at idle. Clutch works fine. Only issue is the throwout bearing can be noisy when sitting in neutral.

Still needs a speedometer head (included from a car with a 3.27 rear) installed to read speed correctly.

I've run out of time for all these cars. I built this one to keep, but then a 97 E300 showed up and....well its a never ending cycle......

Asking $2800. Call me at 919-333-3182 if interested. Car is located in the Raleigh, NC area.

Will try to get pictures soon....

Thanks, Klaus
