This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300CD shows 68k miles and is finished in Light Ivory over Palomino MB-Tex upholstery. Power comes from a 3.0-liter diesel inline-five mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes a metal sunroof, a power antenna, and 14″ wheels with body-colored covers as well as a Becker Mexico AM/FM/cassette stereo, cruise control, and power windows.
The car is finished in Light Ivory and features a hood ornament, a metal sunroof, a power antenna, a driver-side mirror, and bright trim. The door weather seals were replaced and the hinges were lubricated in 2021, while the grille was replaced in 2023 and the washer fluid pump was replaced in 2024.
The 14″ wheels feature bright accents and body-colored covers, and they are mounted with 205/70 Hankook Kinergy ST tires. A non-matching spare resides in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs, and the brake master cylinder was replaced in October 2021 and the rear brake pads were replaced in July 2023.
The front bucket seats and the rear bench are upholstered in Palomino MB-Tex that extends to the center console, lower dashboard, and portions of the door panels. Wood trim accents the interior, and amenities include power windows, cruise control, a Becker Mexico AM/FM/cassette stereo, and woven floor mats.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a central 115-mph speedometer flanked by an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure.
The 3.0-liter OM617 diesel inline-five was factory rated at 77 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque. Following the seller’s acquisition, the battery and filters were changed and the fuel return lines were replaced.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
An assortment of spare parts, manufacturer’s literature, and a summary of recent service will accompany the car.
