240 D FOR SALE, $500! california car! needs short block
My beautiful Helga is for sale. Needs a short block.
I just finished a valve job, new chain, gasket- and it still has low compression on no. 1. I found that there is a depression in the side of the cylinder wall, just above the piston ring. It looks like a dimple the size of a dime and occurs on nos. 1 & 4 only. I figure that the dimple got large enough on #1 to make the rings leak. The engine misses at idle and of course blows unburned fuel out the exhaust, but seems to fire at highway speeds. Weird. Anyway, before I donate it to St. Vincent de Paul, I am offering it for $500. Firm. It has virtually new interior, good paint and suspension is great. NO Rust of course, anywhere. Straight. Replaced a noisy half shaft with a good used one, brakes excellent. Trans excellent. Cruise doesn't work, and neither does the AC (duh...)

Automatic, MB Tex-seats have been rebuilt with new aftermarket covers (they are MB tex, but they have stictching instead of heat pressing).
It also has the desirable manual heater controls.
