1980 300td wagon, currently plated and insured (passed Quebec used car safety inspection to be plated, most strict in Canada).

Beige

Shows 164k miles (odo broken)

Imported from Texas****, never driven in Cdn winter, overall very solid

Strong NA motor

Lots done:

- fog lights and headlamp surrounds replaced with VG used

- new radiator (correct NA rad)

- new cc servo (metal body) and new cc amplifier

- new rad hoses and new molded servo coolant in/out hoses under hood (Mercedes OE)

- new windshield/seal

- new hood pad

- most of interior changed (was leather, seats were burned/rotted and door panels burned on tops from sitting in Texas sun)

- SLS valve rebuilt, shocks replaced with good used, system works 100 pct

- new lower balljoints, rear calipers, sway bar links, rear rotors and pads (500 miles)

- comes with pretty much all parts for front suspension rebuild

- still has original factory exhaust installed

- comes with spare cc amp, cc pushbutton panel, preglow relay, probably more I can't remember

- comes with good Michelin Destiny tires on painted Bundts OR good snows on steelies (not both)

Bad:

- dented right fender (repairable, also comes with spare fender).

- some rust spots (surface) and paint has peeled on front of hood

- speakers shot

- minor repairs to driver floor (from leaking windshield seal, water sat inside)

- am working to get climate control operable now

- needs door striker inserts

- bumper in bad shape (have spare off later wagon)

- transmission leaks from dipstick seal

- transmission needs to be adjusted (modulator)

I have hurt my back and cannot finish the work before winter.

Given the money I have into it (purchase + transport up to Canada + parts installed) I have to get $3500 for it as it sits. I gave up adding up my costs on it at $6600.

If this might be your cup of java, drop me a line.

If I get serious interest I will do some pics....

Thanks

****: which means, should you be so inclined, the car can be re-imported to the USA with less hassle than if you bought a car originally sold here. I still have a photocopy of the OK title (was brought from TX but was on an OK title).
