Here is a once in a life time opportunity to own this amazing 1978 300 sd with only 36 k original miles . I purchased the car from the original owners estate. He passed away about 2 years ago. He was from Austria and also a Mercedes mechanic. This car was his baby. It was always stored in a climate controlled garage and shows 100 % rust free. . The Black Paint is stunning and shines like new. It's all Original paint except for the driver's rear door I had re painted do to a scratch that was on the car since 1984 . It looks excellent paint matches 100 % . Otherwise Paint is original and excellen, o checking or cracking and it shines like new. The palamino interior is Stunning. It's as nice as when he purchased it in 1978 . I would say it's still brand new. There is no wear in the seat', hey are very firm when you sit in them and the carpets. door panel, headliner are all pristine. The wood is also pristine with no cracks whatsoever. The dash is like it was new. Perfect with no cracks . He ordered this car brand new and he was very tall so it does not have a sunroof which gives you a lot of headroom in the car.Inside the car you will find everything to be working properly. The power window', ll the lights are nice and bright in the cluster and switches, nd the cruise does work as well but sometimes it doesn't its because it hasn't been used in forever. The radio and power antenna also work perfect. When i brought the car home I serviced it with my dad and we went through the entire car from front to back. Here is what I did. New Batter, ew brakes, ew brake lines, ew valve cover gasket, ew fuel line, ew fuel filters, ew air filter. The tires are new they are Good year all season . The Ac is also brand new. I converted it to 134 and its ice cold Switch the climate control to heat and its hot. The Servo works perfectly. . New compressor dryer etc. The car starts right up and idles like a watch. It has awesome power and holds the road amazing. Mechanically she is super sound. the suspension is very tight and makes no noises whatsoever. I drove the car from Wi to florida and it drove like a dream. I averaged about 35 mpg and it was very comfortable. The car got a ton of compliments on my way home. People couldn't believe its condition and low miles. I have sold many cars on ebay and also many diesels. I usually would polish the engine compartment but I wanted to leave this car in it's original state, he engine is very clean as you will see and doesn't leak any oil. Underneath the car it's as nice as the outside. There is no rust anywhere and the suspension is nice and clean . The exhaust is also in excellent condition as you will see in the pics. The 116 chasis car is considered the best diesel ever made. The dual bumpers. The low stance and the comfort of the interior truly make this car exceptional in every way. I am pricing it less then you can buy a new honda or nissan or even a New Mercedes C class. This car will outlast all of them and only rise in Value. Its the best colot combination and truly screams out Classy. Please read my feedback as I take pride in selling great cars. Click the buy it now this car will not make auctions end and someone will get this beautiful car and enjoy it for a life time as the first owner has. Please call me if you have any questions.

The title is clear and in my name . The original spare tire was never down and the tools are in the trunk. I have keys and books and service records for what i did.
The original owner added European fog lamps they can be removed but are on the front bumper you could use a chome filler cap to plug the hole.
