Car description

All original and a true survivor W124 1987 300D with very little rust, original engine and transmission. OM603 inline 6 diesel engine which is rare for e class but many sdl(diesel s-class of the time) had it. Has a Wisconsin title now, some pictures are from Kansas when I was studying there. As it can be seen in the video it runs pretty strong. No smoke or oil eating, only time it smokes is at cold start in winters, just a puff of grey smoke. original paint on the car, looks pretty good other than driver side roofline which is faded. I keep a coat of carnauba wax to protect the original paint and would not suggest a repaint for an all original car. Original transmission which was rebuilt during last owners ownership. I suspect the glow plugs are new as the car starts in the dead of winters without hesitation.
Work done in the past 5 years include shocks and struts, transmission work and I personally did transmission flush, new transmission filter, engine oil change and flush, turbo gasket repair to keep boost in, new Mitchelin tires, new vacuum lines and transmission tuning(vacuum and bowden cable), transmission and engine was worked on by a mechanic in KC when previous owner owned it, AC relays replaced, climate control relays and related stuff, newer valve cover which I think is from a later sdl.
It has the following options
  • Power seats with memory and they work perfectly
  • Power adjustable steering rack
  • Power windows, one rear window does not work but is closed and sealed properly
  • Driver side airbags
  • 15 inch allow wheels
  • Full size allow spare
  • ABS
  • 4 speed automatic with gateway shifter
