Up for offer is a 1984 Mercedes 300D Turbodiesel. My friend and I bought the car as a project to restore, we got a lot done but then lost space to work on it. The car was originally silver with blue interior and is now in black primer. The interior is in really good condition, no rips in the seats, only small items like the glove box lock and some cracked trim pieces and the dash does have cracks which they make covers for. The sunroof is not working, never got to it but does not leak and is not sealed.
Mechanically, the car runs well, transmission is smooth and shifts from park through all the gears very smoothly. It does smoke when it is started, probably because it has not been run in a few years, but stops after a minute or so then settles to a nice idle. There are NO brakes, needs a new brake vacuum booster or master cylinder, not sure which. We also replaced the main vacuum pump so that is good. The engine will run after the key is turned off sometimes, you have to use the kill switch on top of the motor. The battery was new 2 years ago but now will most likely just need charged.
The body is now in good condition, not perfect but any rust was sanded down and we used rust killer then primed. A year later and no signs of any rust. The wheels are nice and clean up well but the tires will need replaced. The car will need new shocks and struts as well, kind of bouncy.
All in all, this is a car that deserves to be finished and will be a nice reliable ride, we actually kind of started to like the flat black and were thinking of doing a wrap instead of paint.
Please realize that there is no warranty expressed or implied, this is a no reserve auction starting at $1, bid to where you are comfortable with. Please feel free to ask any questions!!

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.
