In armstrong, bc Canada.
Travelling to Seattle on the 25th of december 2007
email me for details and questions. Please when you ask for a part suggest a price.

Two mercedes Benz parts cars for sale.
1979 Yellow 300D - brown interior.
1980 Blue 300D - Palamino interior.

Until October 7th, make me an offer on the cars as whole, will have to be towed.

Otherwise make me an offer for parts, u-pull. Me-pull is extra.

I've collected them over the past two years. The timing chains broke on both of them and I want to clear my driveway and my garage.

The Good:

1 set of alloy bundt cake rims with good winter tires.
1 set of steel rims with yellow hub caps and good all-season tires.
A/C compressor was working on one of the cars when I stopped driving it.
Sunroof motor is good on a least one of them.
Most Power windows worked.
I fixed the odometer on one, can fix the other one.
Palamino seats in very good condition. Brown seats need fixing (I can tell you an easy fix).
Starters and batteries were good.
Generators were good.
Almost complete first aid kit.
Most service records.
Fog lights good.
Original window glass. 1 good front window glass.
Spare tires, spark plug puller (I don't know why it was with it this car).
Injectors, both styles of glow plugs.
1 working antenna.
Original becker stereo.
Mercedes dealer new floor mats.
Ask about anything else.

If you buy both cars I will also throw in a bunch of new oil and fuel filters, fuses, and a 1 day old air filter.

The bad:
Engine might be salvageable on 1 as the timing chain broke at idle.
The transmission on the '79 slipped in reverse, but it should only need the reverse band tightened (I'll give you the how-to), but there's a possibility it's not fixable (buyer beware).
1 sunroof gives no response (could be a couple things).
1-2 bad power windows.
some bad vacuum pods for climate control.
Ask for anything else.

Final warning:
1 of the cars is in my driveway and I can't pull parts that will get my neighbours angry (like doors, windows, fenders. The other car in my garage should be fine for that. That's more motivation to buy yourself the whole car.

If anyone wants parts from these I'm parting them out. I'm taking them apart so I can junk the frame.

If anyone is interested in parts let me know and name a good price.

I'm in Canada, so be prepared for international shipping.

orthotomeo, Would your antenna work on my 83 300D? Thanks!

orthotomeo · #9 12-26-2007, 08:54 PM

Interior is still available as is most electronics, hubcaps, wheels, etc.

unkl300d · #10 12-31-2007, 04:11 PM

Paul, I jut received the parts. That was FAST !
It was worth waiting to send from Seattle.

Excellently packed and the parts are very good. Good deal Paul. Thanks again.
I hope you can get your laptop soon !!

I'm very motivated to sell parts of this car. I'll be getting stuff towed in a few months. I'm in Canada. I have most things. If you're in no rush i can ship from seattle.

Name a part and a reasonable price and I'll send you a picture.

orthotomeo · #12 02-19-2008, 11:36 AM

A bit dusty. The brown one has a first aid kit in it, but I'll have to look to see how original the stuff is inside.

Hi there-
I'm trying to restore my '79 300CD interior with as many original parts as possible. As the floorboards are made of that plastic/rubber stuff that gets hard and crumbles into a gabillion pieces... I was wondering if you had any descent ones still available?
Thanks!
Steve

orthotomeo · #14 02-29-2008, 10:56 AM

PM me which pieces you are looking for and I'll send pictures.

I'm expecting a trip down to Seattle soon if anyone wants anything shipped to them.

I was just out pulling relays among other things and also pulled a working A/C amplifier if anyone is interested.

These cars need to be gone before summer.
