1975 Mercedes-Benz 240D THIS FINE AUTOMOBILE, “GOOD OL’ BLUE”, IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF THE VERY DESIRABLE MERCEDES W115 CHASSIS. THIS IS A ONE-FAMILY VEHICLE WITH 103,259 ORIGINAL MILES AND HAS BEEN SAFELY TUCKED AWAY IN A GARAGE, COVERED AND LOVINGLY CARED FOR. MY FATHER PURCHASED THIS MERCEDES FROM LEO PAYNE PONTIAC-‘JEEP’-GMC TRUCKS IN LAKEWOOD, COLORADO ON JULY 28, 1975. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BILL OF SALE AND ALL ORIGINAL OWNER’S MANUALS, MAINTENANCE LOG AND PARTS CATALOG. MY MOTHER DROVE THIS CAR FOR YEARS – LITERALLY TO AND FROM WAL-MART OR THE BEAUTY PARLOR. SEVERAL YEARS AGO, SHE DECIDED TO QUIT DRIVING AND GAVE THE CAR TO ME. I’VE STORED IT IN MY GARAGE AND HAVE DRIVEN IT OCCASIONALLY (MOSTLY FOR NOSTALGIA) ON SUNDAYS (AND ONLY IN GOOD WEATHER!). THE CAR STILL TURNS HEADS AND I ALWAYS GET COMPLIMENTS ON IT.SEE THE FOURTH ROW IN THE CHART BELOW FOR INFORMATION ON THIS PARTICULAR MERCEDES. THIS CAR WAS NUMBER 93,528 OF 131,319 EVER MANUFACTURED.

THE CHASSIS CODE (ROW 6) IS W115.117. On Nov-29-12 at 15:19:48 PST, seller added the following information: Inquiry from eBay buyer: On the radiator shroud, to the right of the hood latch, is a metal plate stamped with numbers, primarily in a 3-digit format. Would you be kind enough to send those numbers and letters? They represent the option codes....the DNA of the vehicle as it was assembled. Here is the answer to that question: 1C5142323 11511712132357 903H 515542593621636 426467491 Also, does your family still retain the stamped metal addessograph plate that was inserted into the owner's maintenance record book? The answer to that question is no. It was not with the maintenance books / logs / warranty / bill of sale / parts catalog that my father kept.On Dec-02-12 at 07:54:57 PST, seller added the following information: Added Sunday, December 2 9:47am: As requested, I added five more photos to the listing this morning. There are two of the trunk with the protective rubber mat pulled out, one with the mat in place, one of the previously-mentioned crack in the dash and one of the tear in the driver's seat upholstery. The tear is such that is should be repaired easily. Thank you for your interest in my family's car. I will check eBay for messages again Sunday evening and Monday at noon CST to answer any additional questions before the auction closes. . Good luck!
