w110 190Dc acquired
Hello fellow Vintage owners.
I am now a proud owner of a 1965 (or 1966) 190Dc with a 200D engine. A special thanks to Jeffrey for his assistance in acquiring this car. It should be arriving tomorrow, so if anyone sees it on the back of a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck, you know it's mine. I will be changing all the fluids, moisturizing all the mb tex, dash, etc., and driving it on "nice" weather days.

Super nice condition, I really like the interior colors.
Why the 200 motor, was it a replacement? |

That's what I've been told. I haven't seen the paperwork to know for sure. Time "may" tell.

WOW!!!! That is certainly a much nicer old MB than I thought you would be getting. That looks awesome daw! One of the nicer examples of that chassis that I have seen. [i actually can't see the pavement through the floor pans!]
Nice little around town cruiser.....

DB 304, Horizon Blue, is one of my fave MB colors, my 220S is that color. Who owns the green one in the background?

Congratulations! That is a beautiful car...
The original owner was an Arkansas Judge. The second owners purchased the car in the 70s. Daw is the third owner. Car had never spent a night outdoors. The original motor was replaced years ago with the 200D engine, which is definitely an upgrade. The original 1.9 liter had 3 bearings, the 2.0 liter has 5 bearings and moves the car with ease. The car has automatic transmission and air conditioning (that works!). Life is good... The Universe is abundant...

Looks like a beautiful car. The interior looks mint.

Wow, great car! It's nice to see you finally got a fintail. My 200D with manual transmission does well as a daily driver. I wonder how much of a difference an automatic would be in real-world acceleration (1 second slower according to specs). Good find. I recognized the green car in the background.
