FS: 1980 300SD Turbodiesel - sassparilla_kid - 08-26-2013
Alright folks I figure since I don't have enough time or money to work on our entire fleet of cars that I need to liquidate a few of them, so I'm putting up for sale my 1980 300SD Turbodiesel
Some good things about the car:
-body is super straight with little to know rust that I can find
-107k miles on the car, previous owner put a freshly rebuilt engine in the car before parking it, I'm guessing it has less than 1k miles on it
-no blowbly
-fresh oil and fuel filters (and new oil)
-recently cleaned the entire fuel system
-new oil pan
-has ~5 gallons of diesel in it, with some algaecide and cetane booster for a little longevity
Some maybe not so good things about the car
-interior is not in great shape
-needs new front/rear window seals (they leak, which is why the interior is nothing special)
-needs new bulbs pretty much all around as most are missing
-upon further inspection the engine shocks appear to be missing
Some extra things!!!
-since the original instrument cluster got water damaged I have a LIKE NEW one that comes with the car
-I have some of those (15?) hole wheels that came on the w126 and w201 cars, wrong offset though, that I'll throw in for free to scrap/use/dowhateveryouwantwith
So, I'm asking $1400 for the car, its in better condition than I got the car in and I've since done some work to it (wasn't really running when I got it) and the price I'm asking is less than what I have into the car.
Thanks folks!
PS I'm also putting the car up over on peachparts, and craigslist

$1400 is great if you can prove the engine was rebiult(and not just power washed). Maybe post pics of the cam lobes, chain guide/ chain stretch @ 2mm?
