Yep, Manlius I think was the first I saw it, then a couple owners out my way, maybe batavia or alden.

Reminds me of a lost cause 300TD, rotted floors & plexiglass rear window that circulated around here. When I called the owner and pressed for details, 'liquid nails' and 'ether' were among the deal-breaking terms.

Liquid nails to patch the floor, ether to start.

There was mention of a salt mine in the vehicles area. If this is true be very careful. We have a salt mine twenty miles away in a small town
.You never want a vehicle that has spent considerable time really close to one..

I salvaged some parts like the rear axel for a trailer from one once. You torch fastenings as there are no remaining heads to grasp on them. Or putting it another way we live in the rust belt. Cars from the salt mine town of Pugwash, Nova Scotia make average rust outs here look pristine..

You can probably lie in bed there listening to you car rusting outside at nights. When a dollar was worth something a guy there used to charge three hundred to rustproof cars in that town.

I actually purchased and we used his hydralic grease and graphite gun ultimately. Now it is illegal to use and the supply of the material is not there either. Never saw anything even remotely close in protecting cars from rust.

I have 90 photos on this vehicle.

I almost bought it.

The only thing that is Merce3des is the three-pointed star on the front.

EVERYTHING ELSE WAS MADE BY HANOMAG.

Hanomag diesel, gearbox, brakes, electrical.

Be ready to completely gut and change the front end, since the components are not interchangeable with Hanomag.

Originally this guy wouldn't budge from 2400 so i let it go.

ITS NOT A BENZ VAN, any more than if it was powered byu a chevy 258CU in gasser engine.
