Not sure if there will be any interest on here for this or not? These benzes are indestructible.
I bought this car recently as a non runner and had planned to part it out. specifically I was going to cut body and chassis part off of it to fix rust on my 85 wagon.
Once I got it home and running (bad oring on fuel filter head) I realized its too nice a car to part out. It would make a good project for someone.
It appears to have new alternator, water pump, glowplugs and ac hoses, and battery. It also has good tires. These pictures were taken with it running this morning and it started without block heater with 26 degree temps. It drives nice. Rubber has been replaced on front suspension. Hydraulic rear needs one part which I have ordered and should be here next week.
The car is remarkably rust free. Thats why I bought it. Picture below is rear passenger jack point which often is the worst on these cars. Floorpans are solid, its all pretty solid. It has dents and dings, but nothing at all major.
The bad is the interior. Headliner is full of holes, mb tex is rough, busted seat spring on drivers seat. No radio and trim missing from cracked dash. It does have the third row seat.
Odometer shows 249k but PO said it slips from time to time.
If no one buys it I will probably slowly peck away at it, but I don't have time for another project. My daily drivers are all projects enough for me.
Priced at $1800 so someone else can make this car great again.
Car is located off I-24 between Chatanooga and Nashville.
PM or call 931-636-8132.
