’84 Mercedes Non Turbo Manual 300d Euro Spec Gray Market on 2040-cars
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
|
This amazing car was vandalized on New Years Eve and I have been debating all this time about selling. I have come to the conclusion that I must. It is still a great car, but now it will need a front and rear windshield, both the passenger windows, grill, and headlight glass. The lights themselves are still working. I went out today after she had been sitting covered for 3 months through winter and she started on the 1st try. I drove her around one last time in the neighborhood. I Love this car and she was my daily driver, but she needs someone who can fix her. Pictures of the glass were taken on the morning after, so the broken glass has been cleaned up. This is the description & pictures I was going to use before it was vandalized & the after pics as well. The inside was not vandalized so it still looks like the pics. The only damage was to the back right passenger window trim which was dented so it will need to be opened up a bit to allow the glass to move freely. This car is being sold as is. This is a Gray Market Mercedes 300D with a manual 4 Speed transmission, non turbo. Gray Market means it was originally sold in Germany for the European market then imported to the US by an individual. The VIN is WDB1231301A019864 and is currently insured with State Farm. The smaller front and back bumpers are a dead give a way too. I purchased it from the son of the original owner. His father imported it for his German born wife in 1984 who wanted a “German” car. I have taken 77 pictures to give you a good idea of the overall condition and it also has some killer BBS rims. It is in great condition for its age mechanically and the interior is really in great shape. It does leak a little oil and it does have a few rust stops, but crazy fun to drive. Odometer reads 118K, but it has not worked right for about 7 months. Title in hand.
All the following electronics work; lights, blinkers, radio, wipers, front driver’s / passenger windows, sunroof, fuel, temp, and oil pressure gauges.
Both back windows are manual and work fine, but the driver side handle needs to be replaced. It works in its current state though.
Heater works like the German’s intended, warm and toasty. All speeds on blower motor work great as do the position settings.
Not working; Odometer works from time to time, gauge cluster light, both of these are notorious for going out and are relatively cheap fixes, and the AC. The doors do not lock automatically with the vacuum system, but do work fine with the key.
Recent Work done by a Mercedes Mechanic;
Clutch Master and Slave cylinder both replaced
New Alternator Brush pack
New Alternator belt, power steering belt, and AC belt. Bosch Battery less than 3 months old and very nice BBS Rims. I have done my best to describe in detail the condition of the car, but please feel free to ask questions. It is being sold as is because of its age knowing it will continue to need TLC. |

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton buys LaFerrari
Tue, Mar 24 2015Lewis Hamilton has driven some of the fastest cars ever devised, like the McLaren MP4-23 with which he won the 2008 Formula One World Championship, the Mercedes W05 with which he won the title last year, and the new W06 he drove to the checkered flag in the season opener earlier this month. But what does he drive in his spare time? According to the latest reports quoting his boss Toto Wolff, the reigning champ celebrated his win at the Australian Grand Prix by ordering a new LaFerrari. The seven-figure, 950-horsepower hybrid hypercar may be made by a rival manufacturer to the team for which he drives, but then his employers at Mercedes don't (for the time being at least) build anything that competes in the segment – unlike his former employers at McLaren that offer the similarly potent P1. Something tells us he won't be invited to drive it at Fiorano, though - which is something his rivals Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel have all had the chance to do. Hamilton has a long-established penchant for driving twelve-cylinder exotic supercars in his spare time. At his previous place of work, he was promised an exceedingly rare McLaren F1 LM – valued at some $4 million – but only if he won three world titles for the Woking-based team. He also owns a Pagani Zonda that was made specifically for him with a 760-horsepower engine (supplied, naturally, by Mercedes) and a six-speed manual – complete with a clutch pedal, which (apart from starting off the line) is something he doesn't usually get to operate during working hours.

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche 911 hybrid possible, Ecocruise EVs coming soon
Thu, Oct 9 2014The next-generation Porsche 911 could use hybrid power, according to Porsche CEO Matthias Muller. "There is no reason against it and we will see if we have some reasons to do it," Muller says of the model due around 2018. He also suggests that hybrid technology could eventually make its way into all Porsche model lines, but that the Boxster and Cayman would first get four-cylinder versions. Muller cites carbon emissions and "sportiness" as reasons to use hybrid power, pointing to the 918 Spyder as a good example of both. Read more at Car Advice. A B-Class F-Cell from the Mercedes-Benz fleet has hit a benchmark of 300,000 kilometers (about 186,411 miles) in everyday use. The achievement won Daimler an "f-cell award" for hydrogen fuel cell technology and innovation. The 300+ fuel cell cars in the Daimler fleet have driven a collective 9 million-plus kilometers (more than 5.5 million miles). The information gathered from this testing is being used to improve development as the company looks toward expanding commercialization of fuel cell cars. "We have clearly demonstrated that the fuel cell electric drive is ready for the road," says Professor Herbert Kohler of Daimler. "The last hurdles we will overcome in intensive cross-industry and cross-border teamwork." Read more in the press release below. A company called Ecocruise has new EVs coming out soon. Along with electric scooters and service vehicles, Ecocruise develops street-legal neighborhood electric vehicles like the three-wheeled EZip-3, the four-wheeled EZip-4, and the fun looking Cruser Sport (see a prototype in the video below). The EVs are scheduled to go on sale in January of 2015, which is right around the corner. Ecocruise was started after the founder of Kasea Motorsports decided to switch to electric vehicles with the goal of offering providing affordable emissions-free driving. Learn more about Ecocruise and its vehicles at the company's website. The new EU Fuel Quality Directive (FQD) does little to discourage dirty fuels like tar sands and coal-to-liquid, says Transport & Environment (T&E). The FQD requires suppliers to reduce greenhouse gas intensity for transport fuel in the EU by six percent by 2020. The much-delayed FQD doesn't do as much as it could, though, say critics, and it doesn't label dirtier fuel sources as such despite the urging of scientists. T&E, an organization focused on cleaning up EU transport, blames Canada, the US and Big Oil.
