Up for sale is my 83 300 SD. About 200,000 miles. Exterior 9/10. Interior 10/10!! I've owned the car for the past 2 years, and have put a significant amount of time and money into restoring this car. Why am i selling it? Well, I've done just about everything i can do to it. Its pretty much fully restored. I bought a another project car (91 300d 2.5T) and im ready to move on.
With this car, I took an absolutely pristine palomino interior out of a 91 300SE (w126), and installed it in this car. (carpets, seats, dashboard, center console wood, seat switches, door cards..etc) I also took the complete audio system out of the car, including speakers, amplifiers, and complete wiring harness. it is a 10 speaker system, and it sounds absolutely AMAZING. The bumpers and exterior plastic trim, is from a Late model 2nd Gen w126. Just for that updated look.
I did a valve adjustment to the engine, and replaced the injector nozzles with OE Bosch. I rebuilt the power steering pump, alternator and starter. I know these cars plastic radiators break down and crack over time, so i replaced it with a new Neeson Radiator. At the same time, i also replaced the Upper and lower hoses, water pump, thermostat, and overflow tank cap. I made Ni-chrome wire fuel heaters, and an electric boost pump on the fuel system. These can easily be turned on from under the dash in the cabin. no need for an expensive Greece Car kit. I've been able to run 100% veggie oil from spring to fall, which makes fuel pretty darn cheep.
I replaced the front ball joints, upper control arms, tie rod ends, steering damper, and steering gearbox, and the car now handles like a dream.
I removed the transmission, and had it looked over by a Mercedes specialist, and made sure all the internal components were up to par.
I replaced the front and rear brake calipers, rotors, and pads.
A few months ago i had all new Michelin tires put on.
The body is completely rust free. However, there is surface rust on the underside of the car, around suspension parts. It is NOT structural, or rusted through, and can be expected with a car that is 30+ years old. How can i tell its surface rust? When i had the interior out, i inspected the rocker panels, and floor pans down to bare metal, and no signs of rust from the inside. The rust is nothing to be worried about. Even your "rust free" California cars have some minor under body rust. But hey, at least im honest!
The AC DOES work, and it is fully charged. Before i switched it to r134a, i changed the condenser, Dryer, and Compressor, and had the system evacuated and moisture boiled out before i put the refrigerant in.
EVERYTHING in this car works, except the Tachometer, odometer, and power antenna. The radio has CD, and AUX input. I've only ever wanted to listen to my phone/ipod in the car.
The odometer died several months back, so i read that it is probably the gears that are bad. Sure enough, they were bad. So i put new gears in. That didn't fix it. So i assume that it is the Capacitors in the board, but right now I don't really see a point in me taking the time to fix it. I've never used it anyways.
I've put alot more in the car than what I've listed. I've put thousands of dollars into this car, in JUST PARTS. Not because everything has broken, but because i wanted this car to drive and look spectacular. This is not a fixer upper car. This is a car meant to be driven. After all, it is a Mercedes S class. Its the finest of luxury and German engineering that Mercedes made that decade. You're never going to find another one of these cars in this condition, or with these updated features. at least not for sale! Its worth every penny of the 6500 im asking for it, but i am willing to negotiate. Let me know if you have any questions, or if you want more pictures.

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
Rare Isdera Imperator 108i flexes its considerable muscles
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The Isdera Imperator 108i is a remarkably rare supercar from the late 80s and early 90s. Born of a Mercedes-Benz concept car, it's powered by a range of AMG-developed V8s, with five to six liters of displacement, depending on the engine. The example shown here, lapping the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, features the most potent 6.0-liter V8 available. And rather than just being driven about on a perfectly clean racing line, it's freaking power sliding!
Yes, there's something eternally childlike about a wedge-shaped supercar from our formative years being flung about a Belgian racetrack. Adding to the appeal is the Imperator's stumpy, periscopic rear mirror, sticking out of the roof. Even after being out of production for 20 years, this is still a wild, wild car and we'd happily snap up the opportunity pilot one of the 36 Isderas that were built. Take a look below for the full video from Spa.
2016 Italian Grand Prix race recap
Mon, Sep 5 2016The Italian Grand Prix at Monza is called the Temple of Power. Furthermore, the winning driver in Italy started on pole in 13 of the last 16 years, and only one driver in that time has won the Italian GP from behind the front row of the grid: Rubens Barrichello in 2002 and 2009. By this point in the current Formula 1 season (era?) we know what it means when a track emphasizes both power and pole position: Mercedes-AMG Petronas. The Silver Arrows locked out the front row with Lewis Hamilton on pole. A poor start prevented the Briton from capitalizing on the advantage, so teammate Nico Rosberg and four other drivers swept by him before the end of the second turn. Mercedes would later say a clutch issue caused Hamilton's botched start, but that didn't help the man who'd just fallen to sixth place. Rosberg got about two laps of television coverage on his way to an unbothered victory ahead of Hamilton. Ferrari made Hamilton's second-place finish easier by sticking to a two-stop strategy; both Mercedes drivers pitted once. We aren't sure why Ferrari didn't at least attempt a one-stopper once Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen had been gifted second and third on track. A pit stop took about 23 seconds from entry to exit and Vettel finished third, six seconds behind Hamilton. Raikkonen finished fourth, another seven seconds behind Vettel. Perhaps the Scuderia's tire usage wouldn't allow longer stints, but we'll never know. Daniel Ricciardo wielded his Red Bull like a scalpel to make an impeccable pass on Valtteri Bottas in the Williams and take fifth place. Ricciardo, trailing another Italian province behind, somehow closed the gap on Bottas in just the braking zone of Turn 1, pulling alongside near the apex without locking a wheel on entry nor running wide on exit. Bottas claimed sixth ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez in the Force India, Felipe Massa in the second Williams, and Nico Hulkenberg in the second Force India sealing the top ten. Monza did spring a few on-track surprises. Esteban Gutierrez drove Haas F1 into Q3 for the first time this season, the Mexican setting the sixth-best time in Q2. Manor Racing planned for Monza all season, Pascal Wehrlein repaying the effort by qualifying 13th. Fernando Alonso pitted his McLaren on Lap 50 of the 53-lap race for a set of super soft Pirellis, then set the fastest lap. It's Honda's first fastest lap since 1992. The biggest moments happened off the track.
