Modified 1987 Mercedes Benz 300TD Wagon

"This "murdered out" (flat black custom paint with smoked lights) and fully tricked out 1987 Mercedes 300 TD Wagon with a newly rebuilt engine w/120,000 miles is the ultimate vintage wagon. In other words, this ride turns heads. The car can run as a "frybrid" on 75/25 Waste Veg Oil to diesel (55 gal "service station" included) or just as a very high mpg diesel.

The interior and exterior are spotless, and the Alpine system is Bluetooth connected and iPhone charge/connected. There is a very roomy back section with jump seats which fold down for pure storage. As you can see below, virtually everthing on the car has been rebuilt or replaced and is brand-spanking new. I'm also including towers and a heavy duty Thule cargo basket, and a $1300 Greasecar dual tank conversion kit should you decide to convert to full WVO. This car has over $18,000 invested in it, as well as a lot of love and hard work. Asking only$ 9900!! Call 614-284-3715 with any inquiries.

Features:
- Alpine sound system with Bluetooth connectivity
- Sunroof
- Power windows/locks
- Flat black paint job
- Tinted windows and darkened tail lights
- Replaced engine with lower milage engine (120,000 miles)
- Rebuilt injection pump
- New front struts and shocks
- Rear hydraulic accumulators replaced
- New radiator
- New tires, breaks and battery"

- - - - - -

I am not sure if it the price, the ugly blackout or the WVO conversion that makes me want to puke...

backing away, RUN

1982 Mercedes 380 SEC Coupe For Sale or Trade - $2399 (Detroit)
image 1 image 2 image 3 image 4
I have a 1982 Benz 380 SEC Coupe with a 560 motor. Body is solid. It will run and drive, I drove it back there. Needs a hot top post battery. Partial restoration of interior needs finishing and a coat of paint. The Back seats are in. The Front Seats ARE NOT needs restoring. I have all the pieces and extra parts. Got it to be a project car, but now I have no time to restore it to it's natural beauty. I WILL CONSIDER TRADING FOR A EVERYDAY DRIVER FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD SON. OR PARTING OUT. I WOULD HATE TO DO THAT, BUT HAVE NO USE FOR IT. CLEAR TITLE IN HAND. MUST GO. If you are one of those people who loves to do projects, give Me a call. It is worth more than I am asking, so no BS people. Loe 313 444 7488 $2399 OBO.!!!

HA! I was just about to post that one! Here are pics as well as the text in the ad.

"IT'S A DIESEL!

Selling this awesomely different Mercedes 300SD.Yes that is the exhaust stack. It's Awesome. It gets awesome fuel economy too, about 30-city and around 40-highway.

Car has 212k miles, oil recently changed all windows roll down (power windows)

she runs wonderful for her age! The upholstery is a little banged up but to be expected for an 83. Mechanically she is sound, these motors are famous for being super reliable. Im asking $1100 about. Have title."
