1967 MERCEDES 200 DIESEL, Arizona car with a dry and almost totally rust free body. The only rust is in the left rocker panel (for some unknown reason).Great floors, undercarriage, doors, fenders, trunk floor and deck lid etc.
Light green car, almost white with a black interior.
The history I know is that the car belonged to an older gentleman here in Phoenix, Arizona and when he decided to sell it a local broker bought it and sold it to us.I'm relatively sure it is a local Arizona car, judging by the dry and rust free sheetmetal and the dry interior.
The interior is still usable but it is dry and cracked. The seats are comfortable and a set of seat covers would do wonders for the look of the interior!
The car runs great, I don't think I have ever driven an old Mercedes diesel with so much power. It feels like driving a gas powered Mercedes and the 4 speed automatic transmission shifts great.The front end is tight, brakes are perfect and the car is a pleasure to drive.
I don't know if the engine has been rebuilt but, it starts within a second or so and it is strong and very healthy either way, it does not drive like your tired average 49 year old Mercedes Diesel!
The Mercedes has A/C, tinted glass, power brakes and the front brakes are disc brakes, AM/FM Blaupunkt radio.The A/C compressor kicks in when the A/C is turned on but the cooling fan in the A/C unit does not turn on so I'm not sure if the A/C will blow cold or not.
There's several cracks in the windshield. We sell new glass for old cars at our restoration shop in Phoenix and we can supply a new tinted windshield at a great price.The tail light lenses are a little faded from the hot Arizona sun and there's a hole in the right tail light lens.
The Mercedes is ready to go as it sits now, it even has a great battery, excellent exhaust system and great tires!I know of no reason that it could not be driven anywhere but I have to add that because it is a 49 year old car I give no guarantees that you can fly in and drive across the US without any problems.
