This is a 1982 Mercedes Benz 300 D “survivor” with 139,198 original miles. This is an original California car that is 100% rust free since new. Please note: This car is bone dry, there is not one single spec of rust-repair, blister or bubble anywhere whatsoever.
The car starts right up and runs extremely well! It comes factory equipped with a 3.0 liter, 5 cylinder “bulletproof” Diesel engine. These engines are well known for their durability and can go up to 1,000,000 miles without a single rebuild. The 300 D has excellent power and drives superbly down the road. The transmission shifts on time through all the gears and pulls like a train. The brakes, steering and suspension are in proper working order.

The Mercedes is completely un-touched and as original as they come.
All of the paint is original with a lovely shine and just the right amount of patina. A vehicle is only original once. With that being said there are minimal cosmetic imperfections that are to be expected, most or all of which can be seen in the pictures below, they consist of chips,nicks, scrapes, fading (mostly on the hood), dings, clear coat peeling, hazing, etc. The overall appearance is outstanding!
-Nice original chrome
-Nice trim
The interior is in great shape! The original leather seat upholstery is clean and comfortable, very nice!!!
The headliner and door-panels are in great shape!
