I'm not familiar with the market for these things, but the price seems pretty reasonable to me. Wonder what its top speed is.

ooooo ... a post war pre war design... the 170 series is a 30's design and basically helped Mercedes get back on its feet after the war. IIRC it was the first passenger diesel car.. I don't have my book open on the subject but It does ring a bell.. I'd love that car

I wasn't sure what the market is for these either. I really haven't seen one this old for sale.
It definitely caught my attention though.

Primitive diesel indeed, flat head side-valve engine maybe?

In my home town too...too bad I'm at school, or I might have taken a look at it just for kicks...

I don't know what it's worth either, I saw a very nice gasser with a similar body (about 1952, I think) at a show in denver a couple of months ago. Very cool!

Hmm i found it to have 40hp and 75lbft. That would make a 240D automatic like a rocket!

Actually, these diesels had an OHV pushrod engine. It was the gas 170 and early Ponton 180 that had sidevalve engines. My reference gives a top speed of 105 km/hr, or 65 mph for a '53 170D-S, and acceleration of 56 seconds to 100 km/hr.
Happy Motoring, Mark

Nope, that was the 1936 260D.
