A little history about this car, my first Mercedes, it's an '83 with an '85 engine with about 116K on the engine, 330K on the body. I bought this car in 1994, it was very neglected so I brought it back to very road worthy condition. After about 7 years, the timing chain broke and I found a very low milage engine out of a 300CD that was t-boned, all of the filters on this engine were factory Mercedes so this engine was properly maintained. This car has been off the road for 4 years but I do start it and drive it around the back field at least 2 times a year. I was saving this car because I have another '85 300D that is perfect (bought it from origional owner in Clearwater Fl 7 years ago). This old '83 is really rusty and it has dawned on me that I will never need the engine. If anybody is interested, let me know, the engine uses no oil, leaks no oil and has almost no blow-by, it runs sweet and has lots of power. The loudness in the video is due to the down pipe rusted out. The transmission is fine.
