Parts Car FS: 84 Manual Trans Euro 300D - Not Running / Windows Just Smashed- WashDC

Come Haul this Unfortunate MB away
Need it gone. Please forum gang. Bring your trailer.
Make me an offer > any offer < I gotta have it removed this weekend.
Very Motivated in Northern Virginia.
Sorry No Pics - Its full of glass and under a tarp.
Sorry to cross topic post - My business is urgent:.
Read on>>>


THE GOOD

- Manual Transmission

- Euro Spec interior in excellent condition
- Light grey cloth headliner
- Light grey cloth seats with black MBTex trim
- Black dash and door trim
- REALLY SHARP + UNIQUE INTERIOR

- Non – Turbo Diesel engine

- Manual Sunroof and Manual Windows

- No structural issues, passed VA inspection in Late 2008

THE BAD

- Odometer does not function
- Stopped at 129K
- Estimate under 200K actual

- Been sitting for 16 months - has not been started

- Hard starting before being parked
- More than just bad glowplugs
- Replaced Lift Pump before hibernation

- MUST BE TOWED AWAY

- Manual Trans gets stuck in reverse from time to time
- Never when moving (that’s a relief!)
- Mostly at stops when otherwise in 1st.
- Very easy, 15 second fix if you can reach under the car.
- Linkage distance calibration??

- Heater blower is broken

THE UGLY

- Last Month, some kids busted out my front and rear windshields.
- Same for the front and rear driver’s side windows.
- Glass still inside vehicle
- Rust
- Large amounts around rear fenders
- Small patch on rear hood under “300d”

- Burgandy exterior paint is looking poor from being in the elements.





If not for the broken windshield and it’s 16 month hibernation, I would list this vehicle as a drivable > repairable vehicle.

It's in Fairfax Virginia, easy trip from 95 / 495 Beltway


It's on the street - getting tickets - please come and haul it.



I miss my 73-220D!

If we were not so far apart, I would be on that, If for nothing else, for sure the 617 flywheel.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

yeah, I posted some in the cars for sale section and I started a thread about the car when i got it home. lemme see...
black and white cloth interior from euro 300D
just interior shots so far.
I'll post more when I get the glass removed. I've already vacuumed the rear glass up. and the driver's glass... gotta push out the windshield, recover the gasket, and pull glass from one of my parts cars.
