If I'm not mistaken MB continued to put the 615 in their trucks after they stopped putting them in cars for the US. So it still might be a 615 if it's not a 352.
Have you tried running the VIN on the Russian VIN site?

I had a W123 615, it was a 77 build date. Russian site doesn't know what it is, I have put in a request with classic parts.

this add shows an 83 and discusses the benefits of using the 2,4 from the w123, also says its a 5 speed.....

Yep, sure is shaped like a bread box. Nice find, but if you think an automatic 240D is slow, you're going to love this machine, you'll always feel like you're driving uphill with a nice gusty head wind....LOL

Nice find, if you have questions on the "rv" part of it, let me
know.......Thats what I do for a living, And no, it is not 90%
carpentry.....it is 95% gas (propane), plumbing, and electrical. Very rarely
do I have to mess with carpentry

Wow... that's a project. Good choice for a daily driver in Atlanta traffic mutt!

I kid! I kid.

uhhh.... :eek:

Its going to be like renovating a house and rebuilding a truck at the same time... You must be a glutton for punishment.

Looks "ruff" mutt. :D

OMG wow.
lol..
i'm coming thru atlanta this weekend :)

My god!:eek: Are you going to strip it bare?

you're a brave soul. I would have left with whatever refund I could have talked them into. certainly doesnt reflect the pictures from the auction

definately needs a diesel generator.

Looks like the drivetrain & wiring may be a fun project. The mold, rust & interior work may be less so. You might have some, um, "tenants" to evict...

So this is an OM314? Based on the nameplate, OM314/352 - IIRC the OM352 is the 6 cylinder DI diesel used in Unimogs. So this may be the 4-cylinder version of the same? With the direct injection diesel & a dually - you got yourself a Mercedes truck chassis! I seem to remember seeing similar style vehicles in Germany that would be converted into delivery vans, ambulances, and flatbed trucks.

Pass Christian...land of the FEMA trailers. You should name it Katrina.
