Just got back from an emergency trip to Illinois and will probably need to make a few more over the next couple of months. My Mother in Law is not doing to good, Long story but the short is she has been in a wheelchair for 18 yrs. I need to get some cash flowing as it is all sitting in 3 Benz's.

1981 300SD Gray with Tan interior. 192K miles, Looks to be original, Car was in South Florida it's whole life, No rust anywhere, Needs paint, Front end bushings and some interior work, Sunroof needs help closing, All windows work, Vacume locks work, Cruise is intermittant. Put 4 used tires off my parts car on it, They are 60-70% Would not hesitate to drive it to California tomarrow!!! 24-28 MPG in the 5000 miles i have put on it. $4000 worth of reciepts for the last 3 years found in the glovebox when i bought it. It has a new battery, ALL new brakes, Calipers, Rotors, Hoses, PS Pump, Steering box and hoses among a bunch of other stuff. Air blows reasonably cold. I was told the trans was replaced when the old man bought it with 175K on it and it shifts firm with no flares. Trans oil is not burnt or discolored. Car runs strong and FAST! This car handles like a dream! Adjusted the valves last month and replaced 2 of the 5 glow plugs. I have a clean Florida Title. I can meet someone up to 300 miles for free from Starke Florida. Could arrange delivery further for a reasonable fee or may be able to arrange delivery between here and Illinois in the next month or so. $1500 OBO

Was curious - does anybody know, for sure, if the trans from the 380SEL mentioned above is the same in every way that would be in a 1987 420SEL? Mine's flairing a little bit no and then and it has me concerned.
Thanks
Fred

PS - MJSTEF - I still have "dibs" on those parts we spoke about on the phone ?

This trans says 722.3 on the passenger side above the oil pan. If yours says the same it will work but i bet yours is a 722.4. Yup, I still have your parts, I'll contact you tomarrow.

Just so you know, I can't seem to get the pics for the first benz to work. Perhaps it is just my browser.

On another note, Email sent, I am interested in BOTH!

Just checked this. It works fine in IE, but not in Netscape.

Have these been sold?

Yup...........

Cool. Me bad. I tend to roam so many forums that I miss out. The 300SD was sure pretty...I was intersted in that gal.

Hope all is well with you and that your doing well.

P.S.


Hey..I noticed that you have (or had) the same car as me...I do have one 300SD....am going to do my first brake job tomorrow on her....is it fairly easy?
