I apologize for the inconvenience in finding this ad again. I needed to post new photos that I took with a better camera and am having computer issues. However. here the ad will stay until it finishes. Thank you for your understanding. Exceptional in every sense of the word. Available for the first time is this Avocado on Palomino leather 1980 300SD W116. A rare model. 1 of 6500 SDs. in the RAREST color combination offered in a condition unrivalled. This car is not a driver! You cannot drive this car to work every day! It is not a great first car! And it certainly is not a great car for the wife. Please do not contact me with questions to those effects. This is a museum piece and a collectors dream. Here on offer is the cleanest and most original Diesel Mercedes I have ever seen in person or pictures. Only 23. 63 DOCUMENTED original miles. Impeccable in every single way in every nook and cranny everywhere on the car. A show car in every sense of the word. Perfect is the word to describe this car. this car was always covered in a heated garage and NEVER driven in rain or snow. The chrome fender lips. California chrome Bundts. and water seperator are all 100% period correct options as are the Michelin white walls which were all fitted at the dealer before the original owner received the car. Nothing has been changed on this car since 1980 except for the fluids. Even the tires are original. Further proving this cars provenance. The car drives like a brand new W116. The steering is 100% tight with 0 (zero) play. The brakes are firm and evenly bring the car to a stop with no pulling or pulsating. The tires are still balanced out and cause no vibrations at any speed. The A/C is ice cold and has been converted to R134A at the dealer at no small expense. All the windows. vacuum locks. climate controls and even the cruise control work perfectly and without flaw. And the engine starts right up with LESS than (one) full revolution of the engine. A simple and quick flick of the key and this car purrs to life. Shifts are smooth and definite with no signs of any issue. as it should be. The chrome is perfect and the anodized trim shines like a mirror. This car looks like it just rolled off the assembly line in every way. If you need any further information or photos please do not hesitate to contact me. Justin - E. U. Autoworks - (651) 342 0928Also. I am not willing to sell this car outside of this auction. All you have to do is be the highest bidder to buy it. If you are unfamiliar with how eBay works. and you want this car. watching the auction in the last 30 minutes is imperative. Some bidders will try to sneak attack the high bid so there is no time for anyone to respond in the last minutes of the auction. Good Luck
