Mercedes Benz 300d Turbo Diesel "wvo Converted" Kit Installed Rare on 2040-cars
Jasper, New York, United States

Mercedes Benz 300D I have read that only 135 of this particular model was produced therefore it is very rare. The fryertofuel brand kit works flawlessly and this car has logged over half of its life mileage on grease. Fryertofuel sold and installed this kit years ago and they are still in business today with excellent customer service. You start the car on diesel, let the engine get up to operating temperature, flip a switch and bam your running on veggie oil! It has a separate heated aluminum tank in the trunk for the veg. Im going to be as clear as possible. Without running this car down Im going to say its kind of a "beater" car. Yes it was a high end luxury car in 93 but its logged almost 300k so therefore it shows wear and use appropriate with age. That being said it runs EXCELLENT. I drive it daily(selling only to convert a truck) The body does have some heavy rust and paint bubbling. The underside has surface rust only. The heater does not work that great and the sunroof doesn't open but everything else seems to work as it should. Power heated leather seats! The engine and drivetrain run and shift as they should. The engine has a lot of blow by that blows oil out over time. This is very common with these cars due to the crankcase pressure being so high. I just keep an eye on it and add a dab now and then. If you buy this car and plan to drive it home I will give you enough grease to drive home on and I will also educate you on my grease cleaning system. I have a system designed that is fairly inexpensive to build and works awesome. Ive never had a clogged filter or been stranded. greasecar.com has a lot of valuable info if your new to the idea. This cars original diesel system is still in place and unmolested. Does not have to run on veg grease but the way I see it is why buy gas when you can drive for free. literally. This kit is $1295 plus shipping and $500 average installation cost. Just something to think about if you buy a car that's not converted. |

AMG-powered Aston Martins still years away
Mon, 16 Sep 2013After flirting for several years, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin have finally tied the knot. Just don't expect to see any offspring to result from the union for at least three or four years.
This according to Auto Express, which spoke with Daimler chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. AE reports that a new range of AMG-developed turbocharged V8s, transmissions and electrical components will make their way into the successors to the current V8 Vantage and DB9, but that these models are still a few years off.
Purists might balk at the thought of a Mercedes-powered Aston holding true to the brand's heritage. But while David Brown (for whom the DB range is named) may have steered clear of shoehorning in Detroit muscle into his cars, the entirety of the company's current range is powered by engines borrowing technology from Ford, and that arrangement seems to have worked well for Aston until now. And if you're still skeptical, look no further than Pagani and its AMG-sourced engines and you should have all the proof you need that the new relationship between Daimler and Aston could be a success.
Brabus 800 Roadster is a power-mad aristocrat
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If we're being completely honest, we haven't exactly been in love with the aesthetics of the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. It's mostly a front-end issue, with its glowering eagle-eye headlamps and upright, dinner-plate-sized Three-Pointed Star coming across to us as overwrought. That's particularly troublesome for a roadster whose history has of the most elegant designs of all time in its back catalog. Somehow, the new R231 generation's brash visuals seem more at home on this Brabus 800 Roadster to us.
That's probably because the high-dollar German tuner has turned up the wick on the SL's visuals even further, with carbon fiber bodywork, a more aggressive aero kit, matte hood scoop and complex two-finish wheels. It's all-the-way committed to its brashness, in other words - and justifiably so. Anything with 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque has earned the right to look however it wants, right?
Brabus started with the SL65 and its not-exactly-underpowered 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, and went to town, fitting their own turbocharger and intercooler system, along with a less-restrictive exhaust system with driver-selectable sound levels and new engine electronics. The result is a 3.7-second 0-62 mph time, an electronically limited top whack of 217 mph... and one seriously compromised toupée.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
