Mercedes 300cd


In the year 1978 Mercedes decided it might be interesting to make a two door coupe diesel automobile. Now there are many, many Mercedes 300 series diesels on the road. The diesel engines mercedes made from approximately 1978 to 1985 were made out of iron and were very durable. Engines with over 500,000 miles on them and still on the road are not uncommon. There are many one million mile Mercedes Benz vehicles out there still also. But they are almost all four doors, not two door coupes. The first year they made this somewhat rare two door coupe was 1978, and the only made about 1500 of them. So to find one in any kind of decent condition is a good deal. I traded my one hundred dollar Mercedes 300se for this one. It should be up and running after we fix a few things before it snows.
