Clear title, bad rod knock coming from engine. Non-roadworthy, otherwise a clean car ready for a rebuilt or engine swap. Transmission shifts smooth, all electrical works as it should, no squeaks or steering slop. A/c needs recharge, radio needs rewiring, excellent interior. Purchased vehicle with a hole in the oil pan punch from the outside in. Believing that no major damage had occurred to the motor I put a new oil pan and alternator as well as adjusted the valves and balanced the injectors. Installed new rear drive shaft flex disk, fuel filters and fresh oil and filter. On its drive through town it started a bad rod knock from what I believe is the #5 cylinder. I immediately stopped when the noise started and had a buddy tow the car to my residence. The car will start however the knock is present and as such, it is not road worthy. Here is an excellent project car, I have owned 3 Mercedes 300d's this one is by far the most rust free 300d I have seen. Excellent underbody and frame. Feel free to ask questions, car is fro sale locally and reserve the right to cancel the sale early in the event it sells locally.
