1980 Mercedes-Benz 300 Coach Special Edition

This 1979 Mercedes 300CD diesel 2 doors Coupe with automatic transmission and 138.000 miles was finished in " Mustard Yellow " with tan interior . The paint is still in very good condition with just minor rock chips or small scratches . This paint still shines like new with a deep gloss to it . The chrome is also very nice all around . The interior has one small rip in the driver seat, the carpets are clean and even the wood is still in very nice condition . The original radio is still working . This is a original 2 owner CA car and it even still has the blue license plate from 1979 . It has been always very well maintained. The valves were adjusted and the fluids and filters were changed . There is no AC. The vacuum system was gone through last year and there are no vacuum leaks . All the door locks and power windows and roof work the way they should . I would not hesitate to drive this car to the east coast and back on short notice . It is ready to go . The 123 series 5 cylinder diesel engine is know to be one of the most durable and reliable engines Mercedes ever built . There are many cars with this engine with over 500k miles still on the road today and driving well . If you keep taking care of this car , it should last you several 100k miles more . It was built at a time , when cars were made to last a lifetime and not only until the next years model comes a long . It would make a wonderful car to drive every day without worries . You can cruise at 75 miles per hour while still getting 27 miles per gallon of diesel . You could also convert it to run on Bio diesel . This way you can drive it on vegetable oil or even free waste oil from restaurants . I would love to sell this Coupe to somebody local , who could actually come by and test drive it / appreciate it in person . But i would also be helpful with shipping arrangements or an airport pick up for out of state buyers. All shipping fees would have to be covered by the winning bidder , of course. This is a very solid 33 year old classic car and whoever gets it , should not be disappointed . It will be sold " as is " and without a warranty . If you have any questions or if you would like to make an appointment to see it , please send me a note and i will get back to you quickly .Please have all your financing in order and do all your " due diligence" BEFORE placing a bid . I am looking forward to an easy, pleasant and straight forward transaction ....
