1979 Mercedes 300 diesel

Description for Mercedes-Benz 300-Series 1979

I have known this car over 30 years and told the gentleman that owned it that I wanted it when he sold it. Just after his 92nd birthday he decided to sell it. I have had the car a little over two years and have not had the time to restore it as I would like. I don't want it sitting outside waiting on me; but, I need it out of my garage. It is a classic and a beauty. The body is really good. A few scratches and one dent in the driver's door that should be easy to pull. Been garage kept in Mississippi and shows no rust. The interior pleather is in remarkable shape and really only need new stuffing. Headliner and carpet need replacing and the odometer stopped working on my way home from buying it. It shows 111200, and I have put about 500-600 miles on it since then. The motor cranks quickly warm and cold and runs well. Transmission shifts smooth and the car still rides like a cloud. I have no knowledge of the car being wrecked or any major engine or transmission work.
