After driving my 1983 MB wagon and ultimately selling it ,I wanted to upgrade,something diesel ,for quite a while a I looked for the 86-87 sdl or 1987 300d with the 603,it took me a long time to find the black ext black int,I found a lot of 2 tone black silver cars.
Most had higher miles and a ton of rust,this car has one rust spot on passenger front fender{see pic},it should be an easy job for a bodyman.
This car is in no way as clean as the sdl with 55k miles for 16 grand,this car has 130 k and niks,paint chips,scuffs,ect associated with cars over 100 k miles,that said she still is nice cleans up well and is not close IMHO to a paint job.Pics coming
The engine retains its original trap oxidizer and probably the original head,I didnt look for the numbers yet,runs super strong ,2000 rpms at 65,I read somewhere that it was the fastest diesel in 1987 at 126mph,dont quote me,google it im probably close.
I have a slip for 1100 for new rear clipers and brake job,may have slip on muffler and pipes.And she has 4 new tires.
The A/C needs a charge and the passenger power window has an issue,I have another motor for it,may be resolved by the end of the sale.
I love how comfortable these cars are,and the German styling,but given the opportunity I would trade in a heartbeat for a 1968 gto,of equal value,but I dont see that happening and with buisiness so slow its up for sale.
Im driving my winter car{camry}and will probably regret selling a black black 300d with 130 k miles,but somethings gotta give.
You may know about the durability of these motors with some reacing 500k miles,no valve adjustment lifters,and also the head and cooling issues,3rd world countries are gobbling these up,I THINK the 86-87 603 was discontinued because of emmisions.
The interior is super nice,its black will get some good pics later in the week,any ? email me or call 508-331-0701 sure I have a buy it now in my head,but when someone hits the button and doesnt follow thru ,it seems im the one to end up with the repercussions.
For sale locally,the auction can close at any time,mileage will go up,thats it for now.

SORRY FRED I removed your bid to try and straighten out my pics,to no avail.

Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.

Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
