1983 Mercedes-Benz 300DT, 3.0L Inline 5 Turbo Diesel, Automatic. This benz has a custom WVO conversion system that wasbuilt with the best parts one can buy. Over $2500 invested in the WVO system alone. I have the entire system completely documentedas well as the original maintenance records since new. WVO fuel tank was $500 alone. A new battery and all new glow plugs and glow plug relay were just installed. There is an extra set of tires and rims that go with the car (one tire is bad). When the WVO system was installed, all new fuel lines with the new stlye primer bulb were installed. Last year new front and rear brake pads were installedand new rotors on the front brakes. Still needs new rear brake rotors although car stops fine as is, just makes a slight squeal in rear brakes. Also flushed the coolant and changed the transmission fluid. There have been many other one-off parts installed over the years as well. Mostly everythingon this benz is functional, including the sunroof and cruise control (rare). The tachometer works intermittently and the AC needs to be charged.The previous owner did a complete overhaul on the AC but I believe the seal needs replacing as the freon leaked out. Heat pumps out hot air evenon low. This car cruises nicely at 75+ mp yet a little slow off the line as most all old benz's are. The care averages 30 miles per gallon. The only realissue is that it could use a good compound/wax job or new paint, particularly on the hood where the paint has gotten dull. Iwas never too concerned about the paint but anyone who buys it can certainly take care of it and make it look 100%. There are 2 very small rust spotsat the bottom of the doors and one over a wheel. The odometer started getting flaky a few hundred miles ago. Since I have owned the car, it has done the common double shift coming out of first gear. It can be driven fine as is as I have been doing the past 4 years, but think the issue is in the VCV valve..small plastic part that controls the amount of vacuum going to trans. If you buy the car, I will give you the diagram and step by step instructions on how I built the WVO system. For sale separately is the filtering equipment, pumps, etc that I use to filter my oil. I have some spare WVO filters as well. Deposit due within 24 hours and remainder due in 7 days. Sold as-is where is.
