Description:

1976 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series

We are offering a classic 1976 Mercedes-Benz 300 Diesel. We are the second owners of this vehicle. Clean Texas title in hand. 98,262 original miles.
There are a few small spots where the paint has been dinged and you can see a bit of rust; see photos. Our neighbor broke the passenger side window when he was mowing and we haven't been able to replace it. It's always great to have good neighbors. The passenger side mirror is also missing but we can't blame our neighbor for that--we bought it that way. There's one small chip on the windshield but we can't blame our neighbor for that one either.
The original water pump began leaking in 2017 and we tried to repair the old pump and then replaced it with new. During that repair, the fuel lines ran dry and the system needs to be bled to run. The fuel gauge has never worked since we purchased the car.
Original Mercedes-Benz hood ornament is missing.
This is, as far as we know, a mostly original classic car and we want it to go to a good home where someone has time to putter around with it and get it back to running condition. We also want to get it as far away from our neighbor as we can.
You are welcome to pick it up in Cordell, Oklahoma and we will help you load it on your trailer. We have the original owner's manual, too.
