1984 MERCEDES 300 CD COUPE- 99K, RARE COLOR COMBO, NEAR MINT

1984 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series Description

Rare car with 99,067K .....subject to change as I drive it a little bit more.Stored in heated garage. Great color combo. Metallic paint gleams and soft interior MBTex shines.


Rear windows work well- no binding, smooth, fast.AC blows cold. The sunroof, original antenna, radio, windows and cruise, work well and smoothly.
All original Import papers, bill of sale, ID plate, glove box items,service records, repair history documents, tools, spare, original leather key fob, OG keys, original muffler, all upholstery smooth, no cracks or hard rubber, chrome all sharp not chalked, all glass is OG and minty- no chips, cracks, fogging, all decals mint and in place.
Transmission shifts crisply and smoothly- no telltale slippage, jerking, etc. Engine cold start is a bit rough for first 3 minutes, probably because it sits for months between my occasional drives, but right away after start it runs flawlessly with smooth, fast and powerful handling, stopping and starting. The oil pressure is strong and steady at the top of the gauge.
Small flaws:The visor mirror door flaps have cracks, I have replacements but have not finished installation. I replaced the dash light with LED and did not tighten the oil supply well- I got some oil drops on the protective vintage carpet "300 CD logo" floormat, its been cleaned but slight shadow still there. Two tiny scratches- one fender, one wheel lip, pictures on photo bucket.
It is very satisfying and smooth to drive and looks great standing still, too.
Mechanics, tires etc all in top shape-nothing needed. Can drive across country with confidence and style. This is a German tank and an Autobahn rocket all in one. Fewer than 1900 were built making a highly collectible pinnacle of Benz design and quality and very limited product. I don't think you will see one as complete functional and cosmetically nice as this anywhere again soon.
Tight, dry, rust free and clean. Finish is excellent; hard to tell if original, its just excellent clean and gleaming paint everywhere.
Original elderly owned passed away in 2013 and it was sold out of his estate. I have the pdf view on google map of address which actually shows pic of this car, pulled out of its garage. Truly great to drive- I have driven these models across county and on daily commutes, and once you are hooked there is nothing like these cars.
