NO RESERVE!! Classic 1972 Mercedes 220D for sale. We have been using it infrequently to run errands around town, but we have not used it as a daily driver. A mechanic replaced a cracked fuel line in the past week; it is running well now. We still recommend shipping it if you're not local. 30+ photos available at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/90216598@N04/ 3 videos here: http://youtu.be/X__ax3xhpU4 http://youtu.be/I_jdFbNnmcU http://youtu.be/3fIP5y2fvaw Exterior is in good shape with a few minor dings. Much of the car has the original chrome. A new windshield was installed this past summer. The weatherstripping around the other windows seems to be original and on some, water leaks a little in if the car is exposed to rain. Also, the back driver seat door will not unlock or open at this time. New paint job in early 2012. The hubcaps appear to be original. Front Mercedes emblem is in place, and we have the emblem that belongs at the rear of the vehicle. The car comes with a spare tire. The horn, headlights, taillights and turning indicators all function and the car passed the State of Texas inspection in October. You do have to hold the turning indicator in place for turning right, but this is not a big deal. The brakes work fine as does the parking brake. The throttle linkage (?) is wired together as a temporary fix at the moment (see photo); it should probably be replaced. Interior is in good shape for a 40 year old car. Minor wear on the seats but some tears underneath the driver side seat (see photo). Carpet is in good shape. The radio console is partially detached. We have an extra console but do not have the clips to attach it yet. The radio works but the speaker system has some issues. All gauges (fuel, temperature, oil pressure, speedometer, etc.) work fine; the clock doesn't work. Last summer we had someone install a used A/C system. It was blowing cold air over the summer, but recently, it has stopped blowing cold air for whatever reason. We are not sure the heat is in working order. Sometime during its life, an extra fuel tank was installed in the trunk. It is connected to the main fuel tank. It's a neat feature, and the flow between them can be shut off. The car has a unique, distinctive appearance, smooth suspension and is a nice ride. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the car.
