This is such a beautiful whip! Would look good as I drive up to the set of Yellowstone here in my great state AKA Big Sky Country!
Nice Family Roadtripper, eh?
It's amazing what a good car-detailing does for an auction!! Nice whip...should do well at the end. Time to open the wallet?
Any comments about drivability? Snappy throttle with the torque? Good passing ability? How about hiway mpg? Interested inquiring minds want to know!
@thesheikh -- Thank you for that!
If possible, can you please call your Indy Shop and get a BALLPARK cost for this? I'm not expecting it to be an estimate, just would like to know if it's a $1,500 item or an $8,000 item
Are you in a position to have the header and the side mirror switch replaced/repaired for an additional fee? Any idea of the cost of the header replacement? This has to impact backpressure and would seem to make the M/B motor down the road better. I'm very concerned about that as I live in a state where we experience -20f winters and if the header goes from -20 to operating temperature, that might be a problem with thermal expansion down the road.
Nice Whip!!
Sweet whip! Perfect for the endless hiway miles I rack up here in Big Sky Country while taking care of my clients.
Sweet muscle!
I'm so lame I can't even figure out how to include a picture in a message to you to show you what I'm referring to. Sorry again.
@mndmotorcars I have to apologize. After doing an image search for THAT YEAR, I see there was no insert in that trim rail. Something still looks "off" though. It appears that not all, if any of the fastener holes have fasteners in them, which I know can't be the case. Most of the fastener holes appear to not be filled with a fastener head. The only way you could do that would be to chemically bond that rail to the body panels or weld them to the body, which I'm sure isn't the case. If you look at Picture #8, I believe, you see a silver fastener which looks out of place. I know... I'm being anal here. To ME, it just looks unfinished. And as well, I have an opinion, just like everyone does, and it's different than others or however the saying goes... ;) Nonetheless, it's a wonderful example of an '82 MB 300GD. I'm not trying to run your rig down or anything like that and I hope I haven't made such a big deal out of this that it detracts from the otherwise flawless example of your 300GD. I'd love to have it here in Big Sky Country... who knows? Q
Why aren't the rubber/vinyl inserts installed in the black horizontal "rub rails" that run both sides of the rig? You have the trim installed, but it's not a finished or a completed system. Doors that open onto the trim as you show, will dent the frame that the rubber/vinyl insert goes into and will render the trim piece inoperable from the standpoint of installing the rubber/vinyl protective rail.
Can you show your proof that the SRS code is a seat belt retractor? The reason I ask is that I've seen a SRS code for a bad air-bag as well. I'm not saying yours has gone off or that it's an air bag issue, just would like proof to be on the safe side as the cost to repair each of those respectively, is staggering. Thanks.
Sweet whip!
