1976 Mercedes 300D sedan. 5 cylinder 3 liter non-turbo diesel engine. 4 speed automatic transmission.

This is a cute old car that needs to be restored... I have too many projects and not enough time. And, it's not a great car for where I live. It doesn't like hills too much (non turbo engine) and doesn't like cold weather much. I live at 9,300 feet elevation in Colorado, so you can imagine, I have lots of hills and lots of snow. It's been a fun summer cruiser, but it needs to go on to someone who will restore it and use it more.

It starts and runs (if it's above 45F or so -- old series glowplugs aren't really up to starting it in colder temps), and drives around. Transmission is iffy... it doesn't seem to shift very well, though when you get it to stay in the gear you want it in, it'll pull pretty good. I think it's a control/adjustment issue rather than a bad transmission internals issue... but, just in case, I do have a spare transmission from a 1983 300D that I'll include with it. Needs a new exhaust system (it fell off just in front of the muffler, so it's a little loud now). Headlight switch just went out on me this summer (after dark, of course). Passenger seat and back seat aren't bad... could be reupholstered or cleaned really well, but aren't torn or falling apart. Drivers seat is shot... needs to be rebuilt with new padding, or replaced. Glass is good, but the drivers window and passenger rear window don't roll up and down any more. Other two do. Tires are brand new (about 300 miles on them) and I just gave it a full fluids change -- new synthetic oil, new tranny fluid, etc.

There is some rust... I took an angle grinder with a wire wheel on it to all the rusty spots and then painted them with rust converter, to keep it from spreading any farther. It does not appear to be structural (it's been a Colorado car all its life, never been back east where they salt the roads). But, it does need a bit of bondo work and maybe some steel welded it in a few spots. I think it's still restorable though. Obviously, it needs a new paint job (that's what the colored patches are, me trying out some options for colors, I was going to do two tone blue and cream).

The car is currently set up with a veggie oil system -- tank in the trunk for veggie oil, with heaters and lines and all to switch to that when it gets warmed up. It was installed by a colorado school of mines senior design project, and I still have all the papers from that, including some emmissions and dyno info on running on diesel and veggie oil. It isn't quite working now, but with their report, you could probably figure it out again.

I live in Ward, Colorado, and could deliver the car to the Boulder area, for pickup, if you don't want to come into the mountains to get it. I'd even drive it to Denver or Fort Collins area, but driving it farther than that, who knows.... it is an almost 40 year old car, and that's getting old even for a Mercedes.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
