Classic W116 Relisted due to buyer failing to communicate or complete sale. Now gives you a chance at this classic cruiser with great economy in time for Christmas. Last of the good handling, and classic style that was coupled with the great S class ride. 1980 Mercedes Benz 300SD Turbodiesel Sedan. Offered for restoration is this next great classic, or perform repairs and drive as is. This is a classic cruiser, that rides nice, has good power with the turbo, and gets good mileage due to the diesel powerplant. Handles pretty well for a big car. You likely know the W116 is a great combo for this. Straight and clean. I haven't seen any significant rust. Very solid floors! No big dents or body damage. It has a repaint in dark metallic blue that isn't perfect but holds up fairly well and looks sharp with the tinted windows, but the original color looks to be a lighter silver blue. Interior is great for this age. Seats appear to be matching navy blue MBTex and in great shape. It does need some little things like passenger door panel reinstalled, a bolt in the driver seat, motor mounts and antennae gasket replaced. I have those parts, and they are included. The main difficulty is she is currently not running. I seem to have run out of fuel on the way home. I know, a cardinal sin on the diesel. While returning on the expressway she started to sputter. I pulled off the exit and filled her up with diesel but she ran poorly the last couple miles home and would not restart. I attempted to reprime but the hand pumped leaked all over. I replaced it with the newer style along with fuel filters. Still did not start and with winter arriving, I am out of storage and out of time for this one. So my loss can be your gain. Please return this classic cruiser to former glory before prices approach earlier 300's. Dash is decent but not perfect, there is a small crack in the windshield, may need some other attention as well but overall a very sold classic with no major rust underneath or body repair required which is really the key for these classic W116 chassis. Rockers, wheelwells and even spare tire well all look solid with the only spot I see being 50 cent piece-sized surface rust on bottom of spare tire well. So fix her up and ride in style.
