PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

After all the work I put into this car I need to sell it. I found a sweet 300SD that I can’t pass on so the 240 has to go.
This car is my project car. Runs good except for a little bit of a shake when cold.
This would be a great car for someone to convert to WVO and learn a lot about Mercedes Diesel along the way.
Here are the details:

1978 240D
200k (plus) miles
4 speed
power windows all work except the driver rear.

The good:
4 brand new tires less than 100 miles on them
New front wheel bearings
Rebuilt front calipers
Rebuilt rear calipers
all new brake pads at all 4 wheels.
New rear rotors
new front rotors
New motor mounts
1 new injector
all new v-belts
No oil leaks
Heat works great
New air filter, fuel filters, fuel hoses under hood
Transmission fluid and rear axle fluid changed less than 100 miles ago
I used sound dampening material allover this car (huge improvement)

The bad:
Paint is rough
Rust in the passenger floor board was bad and I cut it out and replaced with sheet metal
The interior is in bad shape. I replaced the 2 front original seats with some 300D wagon seats that are in good shape
The back seat is missing
The front and rear window seals leak water
I replaced the carpet with black vinyl in the front never finished the back seat area
The headliner in missing
Dash is cracked
A/C was charged with gas and got down to 40 degrees next day all gas had leaked out.
Exhaust is ugly but hanging in there for now.

$1000 car is located in Greensboro North Carolina
