1976 Mercedes 300D sedan. 5 cylinder 3 liter non-turbo diesel engine. 4 speed automatic transmission.

This is a cute old car that needs to be restored... I have too many projects and not enough time. And, it's not a great car for where I live. It doesn't like hills too much (non turbo engine) and doesn't like cold weather much. I live at 9,300 feet elevation in Colorado, so you can imagine, I have lots of hills and lots of snow. It's been a fun summer cruiser, but it needs to go on to someone who will restore it and use it more.

It starts and runs (if it's above 45F or so -- old series glowplugs aren't really up to starting it in colder temps), and drives around. Transmission is iffy... it doesn't seem to shift very well, though when you get it to stay in the gear you want it in, it'll pull pretty good. I think it's a control/adjustment issue rather than a bad transmission internals issue... but, just in case, I do have a spare transmission from a 1983 300D that I'll include with it. Needs a new exhaust system (it fell off just in front of the muffler, so it's a little loud now). Headlight switch just went out on me this summer (after dark, of course). Passenger seat and back seat aren't bad... could be reupholstered or cleaned really well, but aren't torn or falling apart. Drivers seat is shot... needs to be rebuilt with new padding, or replaced. Glass is good, but the drivers window and passenger rear window don't roll up and down any more. Other two do. Tires are brand new (about 300 miles on them) and I just gave it a full fluids change -- new synthetic oil, new tranny fluid, etc.

There is some rust... I took an angle grinder with a wire wheel on it to all the rusty spots and then painted them with rust converter, to keep it from spreading any farther. It does not appear to be structural (it's been a Colorado car all its life, never been back east where they salt the roads). But, it does need a bit of bondo work and maybe some steel welded it in a few spots. I think it's still restorable though. Obviously, it needs a new paint job (that's what the colored patches are, me trying out some options for colors, I was going to do two tone blue and cream).

The car is currently set up with a veggie oil system -- tank in the trunk for veggie oil, with heaters and lines and all to switch to that when it gets warmed up. It was installed by a colorado school of mines senior design project, and I still have all the papers from that, including some emmissions and dyno info on running on diesel and veggie oil. It isn't quite working now, but with their report, you could probably figure it out again.

I live in Ward, Colorado, and could deliver the car to the Boulder area, for pickup, if you don't want to come into the mountains to get it. I'd even drive it to Denver or Fort Collins area, but driving it farther than that, who knows.... it is an almost 40 year old car, and that's getting old even for a Mercedes.

Mercedes SL backs into Ferrari 458 Speciale while parking

Mon, Aug 8 2016

There are a lot of people with the money to buy nice cars, but an absolute inability to drive them. And that's how this Mercedes-Benz SL ended up beached on the nose of a Ferrari 458 Speciale. It happened at a Virginia cars and coffee event, and that inability to drive we mention doesn't refer to the poor Ferrari owner. According to the YouTube description, the driver of the 380SL was attempting to parallel park when she landed on top of the hot 458. But since the video doesn't start until the Benz has landed, we only have the video uploader's word. But don't click away yet – the Ferrari's owner returned to the scene. Despite a hint of adult language, he's far more calm than we would be in that situation. That doesn't mean he's not angry, decrying the crash as "the dumbest thing I've ever seen." We agree, especially when you notice space between the 458 Speciale and the Nissan 300ZX in front of it. This was by no means a tight or difficult place to park, even without George Constanza's god-given parallel parking skills. Even a semi-competent driver could have maneuvered a vehicle far larger than a 15-foot-long roadster between the two cars with room to spare.

Mercedes introduces the details of the C450 AMG 4Matic

Fri, Feb 27 2015

We saw the AMG Sport models joining the C-Class line in Detroit, but Mercedes has waited until the press launch of the Mercedes-AMG C63 to give us the details. In case you've forgotten about how this new puzzle piece fits, there's Mercedes-Benz, there's Mercedes-AMG, then there's the Mercedes-Benz AMG Sport line slotted in between for those who want sporty luxury but not too much of either. This is the second variant in that line-up, and also the second to get V6 power, following the GLE450 AMG Coupe. In the case of the C450 AMG 4Matic, that means a twin-turbo six-cylinder with 367 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 38 hp and 29 lb-ft over the C400 4Matic on which it's based. It goes much closer to proper AMG territory with its looks and features, with that sharp, chrome-trimmed lip in front, the oblong lower intakes, lightweight wheels, and a "special AMG badge" on the front fenders. In back, the sedan gets a spoiler on the trunk, the wagon gets a roof spoiler. There's a suspension highly derivative of that on the C63 AMG, with three-stage dampers. So too the five drive modes laid out like on traditional AMGs, the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission, the ESP with Curve Dynamic Assist, and it will even sound close to an Affalterbach special thanks to a sports exhaust. Cabin occupants can play the real deal with sport seats and a flat-bottomed wheel with red cross-stitching. We don't have a price yet, but there will probably be plenty of room between the price of the AMG C63 and the $48,950 C400 4Matic to make buyers happy. The press release below has all the info. Related Video: The new C-Class models from Mercedes-AMG: Mercedes-AMG C 63 and Mercedes-Benz C 450 AMG 4MATIC Mercedes-Benz C 450 AMG 4MATIC: Second AMG sports model with V6 power Driving Performance – the AMG brand claim and typical character traits can now be experienced by an even broader target group. The new C 450 AMG 4MATIC expands the product range of the sports car and performance brand within Mercedes-Benz with another new AMG sports model. As an attractive entry into the world of AMG, the C 450 AMG 4MATIC combines a 270 kW (367 hp) 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine with a permanent Performance all-wheel-drive system and sophisticated suspension technology adopted from the Mercedes-AMG C 63. This all results in fascinating driving performance and the hallmark emotional expressiveness of the brand.
