It's worth pointing out that between the original reconditioning in 2022 and my current work, over $14k has been spent to bring the car up to the high technical and cosmetic level you see today. This does not include acquiring the car...$12,500 bid placed by @Braxton6

@mbheritage And that's why you have the quality reputation you do! Top notch seller!$11,250 bid placed by @Lndwb
@JollyG Thank for the note. Yes, the image was taken before caliper replacement. Coincidently, inspecting the car yesterday during a transmission service revealed a front caliper weeping, so we're installing 2 new ATE calipers and fresh pads up front as I write.OK, looking better. Let's keep the momentum going!$11,000 bid placed by @Mays

Lovely car! Description mentions new brake calipers from 2022. Images #172-175 show the brakes and at least the front calipers seem to look older than 2 years old. Could you please comment on that and maybe that image being taken before that work was completed. Thanks!$10,000 bid placed by @Mays

@Jetson If there is no reserve on this and generally any live auction platform, a No Reserve declaration will be prominently displayed. There is a reserve on this auction.Is there a reserve?Morning All. It's the last day for anyone who wants to acquire this fully prepared 123 turbo diesel in the rare - and now very hip - pastel grey. And an opportunity for anyone who values an original paint California from new example. I was visited yesterday by a German vintage Porsche expert who wanted to inspect the car for his son in Germany who is after a US spec 300D. He marveled at the level of preservation of both the undercarriage and exterior/interior cosmetics. He generally remarked that 'this does not exist in Germany'. Feel free contact me with any last minute questions. The car will be sold as-is with no warranty implied or otherwise. Non-dealer California buyers will pay appropriate sales tax/license fees. The new owner will receive the handbook package shown, copies of all the individual repair orders shown and 2 keys. The car is located at my gallery in Burlingame, CA - 5 minutes south of SFO. I can assist with shipping and I'm happy to store the car as we wait for a trucker. Bidders should refresh their browser regularly to insure they see the latest bids.

Good luck to all!$8,750 bid placed by @Mays

I've been asked about the accessory functionality on this nice 300D. I chased just about everything that did not function correctly during the massive preparation performed in 2022. AC, heater, cruise control, vacuum locks, sunroof, power windows, radio, fader, power antenna, interior lights all function. Also recently replaced the fuel injection bleeder hoses recently. This is a turn-key 300D turbo!$8,000 bid placed by @Kloureiro

Factory power antenna works correctly and I just uploaded a blow-by video to @thembmarket. Should be visible shortly.A video has been added to the listing.Beautiful car!

Morning all. I'm very happy to offer this cool 1982 300D to the classic Mercedes community via my friends at The MB Market. It's a great car with a very high level of functionality. I've put about 500 miles on the car since receiving it back from a special client as a partial trade against an investment grade 2001 E55. All the supporting documents are shown and all my reconditioning is also shown. Feel free to contact me with any questions. The car can be inspected and driven at my gallery in Burlingame, CA - 5 minutes south of SFO.
