Description of 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series 300TD

Starts and runs. Naturally aspirated (not turbo) 5 cylinder inline diesel motor runs good. Easily converted to bio-diesel. Lots of rust on body, floorboards, and sun roof! Extra headlight and taillight assemblies, hub-caps, dash, speedometer, trim. Original Becker radio works great. Low mileage brake pads wheel cylinders. Great parts car with good diesel battery.
I just charged the battery, It started right up. Drove it down the block and back, shifts to all three gears plus reverse. Brakes work good. It is an old diesel with very slow acceleration. This is a parts/project car, and it needs a lot of work. The floorboard is rusted through in the back seat, and on the passenger side seat. there are many rusted through body parts as shown in the photos. I wouldn't recommend driving it on the highway in it's current condition. The A/C worked the last time it had a full freon charge several years ago, but it doesn't work now. It was registered and passed inspection expired last June (2015).
The car is sold as-is, with no warranty. Buyer must pick up car in Kingwood, TX. Not delivery or shipping available.
