Parts Car FS: 84 Manual Trans Euro 300D - Not Running / Windows Just Smashed- WashDC

Come Haul this Unfortunate MB away
Need it gone. Please forum gang. Bring your trailer.
Make me an offer > any offer < I gotta have it removed this weekend.
Very Motivated in Northern Virginia.
Sorry No Pics - Its full of glass and under a tarp.
Sorry to cross topic post - My business is urgent:.
Read on>>>


THE GOOD

- Manual Transmission

- Euro Spec interior in excellent condition
- Light grey cloth headliner
- Light grey cloth seats with black MBTex trim
- Black dash and door trim
- REALLY SHARP + UNIQUE INTERIOR

- Non – Turbo Diesel engine

- Manual Sunroof and Manual Windows

- No structural issues, passed VA inspection in Late 2008

THE BAD

- Odometer does not function
- Stopped at 129K
- Estimate under 200K actual

- Been sitting for 16 months - has not been started

- Hard starting before being parked
- More than just bad glowplugs
- Replaced Lift Pump before hibernation

- MUST BE TOWED AWAY

- Manual Trans gets stuck in reverse from time to time
- Never when moving (that’s a relief!)
- Mostly at stops when otherwise in 1st.
- Very easy, 15 second fix if you can reach under the car.
- Linkage distance calibration??

- Heater blower is broken

THE UGLY

- Last Month, some kids busted out my front and rear windshields.
- Same for the front and rear driver’s side windows.
- Glass still inside vehicle
- Rust
- Large amounts around rear fenders
- Small patch on rear hood under “300d”

- Burgandy exterior paint is looking poor from being in the elements.





If not for the broken windshield and it’s 16 month hibernation, I would list this vehicle as a drivable > repairable vehicle.

It's in Fairfax Virginia, easy trip from 95 / 495 Beltway


It's on the street - getting tickets - please come and haul it.



I miss my 73-220D!
