** Mercedes Benz 1982 300cd ~ Turbo Diesel Coupe ** The Ol' Gray Mare ** on 2040-cars
Palm Springs, California, United States
|
IF YOU ARE CHECKING OUT THIS CAR THE CHANCES ARE PRETTY GOOD THAT YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THEM...
This CLASSIC auto runs & drives beautifully... If you are looking for a "One-owner/Always-Garaged" SHOW car, well this Ol' Gray Mare IS NOT that car... You will pay 6K or 8K or even 10K or more for THAT car !!... (Check them out here on EBay, they are stunningly beautiful)... Here you found my old 1982 Mercedes 300CD TURBO diesel that has been driven daily and well utilized !!... Still an exceptional 32 year old USED car with 182k miles on it... And although there is a list of upgrades and repairs yet to be done, she still DRIVES GREAT !!...I bought this car as a project car to make a cross country tour from Palm Springs CALIFORNIA to St Pete's FLORIDA because I wanted a truly reliable ride to get me there and back without worry... And I can tell you for sure that I made that 5000+ mile excursion in style with lots of thumbs up along the way... I averaged 25 MPG WITHOUT the aid of any cruise control or air conditioning... Cosmetically, upon close examination you are gonna see all the little flaws of a well USED automobile...(The further back you stand, the better she looks... lol)... The top 3 things that are not working and still need to be worked on are the A/C, the sunroof and the cruise control... There is no major body work to be done, but could use a new paint job... One picture is of the worst damage to the body on the front passenger fender, however there are more scratches and blemishes to work out... The interior is in fair shape with some break thru on the drivers seat material... I do have replacement bumpers that I have not yet installed that will go with the car along with a few other minor spare parts... The dash has been covered with a molded dash cap... If you would like to see more pics of any specific part of the car please ask for it... She is not real fast out of the gate... But once she warms up she glides on down the highway at 75 MPH with plenty of power... Like most 30+ year old diesels, she drips a little oil and burps a little smoke here and there... But the engine and tranny are working fine... I only have the short term records of the things that I have done with the car that have been mostly cosmetic... The tires are cheap but only about 6k miles on them... The tags are good thru September 2014... This car will make a great daily driver but really shows its worth when cruising at higher speeds... You probably know that Mercedes built the gorgeous W123 series coupe from 1978 -1985 and only from 1982-1985 with the turbo-charged diesel engine . Only 8007 of these wonderful cars were made... This car was finished in silver grey (since been painted over) with blue interior... These well engineered W123 series cars have a long standing reputation for their reliability and are known to go for over 500k miles and still be running well... I am told this car would also be a perfect candidate for a bio diesel conversion where you could drive it on vegetable oil... Would be great to sell to a local buyer that can check everything out before buying... I do have it listed for sale locally so it is subject to sale before the end of the auction...

Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
