FS: 1983 Mercedes 300SD - BEAUTIFUL CAR!
 
All right peeps, after being a member here since I bought "The Phoenix" back in March, it's time to move her on to a new home so that I can renew my search for a 300TD wagon, which was what I was after in the first place when I found the SD. The car is currently on craigslist, so no need to repost the details here. Here is the craigslist ad:

Any questions can be sent through this site or through the craigslist ad.

I'm working on a project to motorize my star so I can spin it at various speeds. Also the Knight Rider lights in the front grill.

Careful, if you spin it too fast it may have a gyro effect, which could cause you to suddenly veer off the side of the road...

That is certainly one nice 300SD!!:)

Mine would be embarrassed to park next to it.

Not sure why yours looks better. I wash mine every five years whether it needs it or not!!

My trick is knocking the interval for washing down to three years... you should try it! ;)

Yea, besides...the newer eight-spoke wheels look out of place on the older cars anyway.

Hey, whatever floats your boat. The chrome fender trim and wheels are part of the appeal to a lot of people, but I realize that purists may like a more stock look. They were on the car when I got it.

Yup. But I'm a 100% stock guy/fan, too.

Chrome wheels is mostly a California thing. There's more chrome aftermarket bundts in CA., than stock.

Buy the car and find out, or are you just going to knock it?
