Mercedes-benz-300-series-300d-1984 Turbo Diesel Svo on 2040-cars
Ketchum, Idaho, United States
|
This is a rust free 1984 Mercedes 300D Turbo Diesel that has been converted to run on straight vegetable oil (SVO). I converted this car about 5 years ago with a second tank for vegetable oil in the trunk that was professionally welded (see pictures). It has a an 18 gallon that has copper pipe with hot coolant from engine for heat. Once it reaches the engine it's heated one more time with a heated filter. The engine has a block heater and the vegetable oil tank has a marine grade pad heater on the bottom for a warm engine and warm vegetable oil on cold mornings. There are two gauges in the car for veggie oil temp and fuel level in veggie tank. The car also comes with a mobile veggie oil purification system made from a 12v gear oil pump one 5 micron filter and a 2 micron filter (not pictured). This car is in good shape for its age with only a few minor issues, the biggest one being the dent in the rear drivers side quarter panel from a hit and run. I have purchased new trim and a new tail light that will come with the car even though the current tail light works perfectly. I purchased the car from California with about 125,000 miles on it. I have only had to put a starter (2009), battery (4/27/12), all new 80,000 mile Michelins at 130k (147k now) 5/6/10 and a brand new spare tire on 7/1/13 (all paperwork is well documented). German Glow plugs were done at 147k. I still have all the original parts (ashtray, spare wheel cover bad trunk carpet) if someone wanted to unconvert the car. A move to Asia has forced a sale, I have put almost $1700 into the conversion to SVO and quite a few parts from Mercedes Source (a reputable site) over the time I've had it, there are also lots of extras with this car (special tools etc.). I wish it to a good home and don't hesitate asking questions. This car is listed elsewhere and can sell at any time.

Mercedes to roll out S65 AMG Coupe in July
Mon, 07 Apr 2014We're still a couple of weeks away from the public debut of the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe at the fast-approaching New York Auto Show, but already we're receiving word of an even more powerful version in the works. That, of course, would be the S65 AMG Coupe - the twelve-cylinder version of the latest S-Class Coupe, two-door counterpart to the S65 AMG sedan and replacement for the outgoing CL65 AMG.
Like the four-door version rolled out back in November, the S65 AMG Coupe would be distinguished from less powerful vehicles (which, lets face it, is just about everything) principally by its engine: a massive, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 621 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and cares as much about global warming as an oil-shipping mega-tanker.
Because Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system can't handle that much torque, the ne plus ultra coupe would (like the S65 sedan but unlike the S63 coupe) be offered only in rear-drive form. That means it will have that much more trouble getting the power down to the road, but since the Magic Body Control suspension is similarly incompatible with 4Matic, the flagship coupe will get that trick suspension.
Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."
