1978 240D (W123)
1978 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series
This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 240D (W123) is being offered by the second owner of the vehicle (purchased from original owner in 2004) and is available for pick up in Atlanta, Georgia or for pre-arranged shipping. The vehicle was originally finished in nickel green (870) and bamboo leather and was repainted dark olive (291) in 2011 (front and rear windshield seals replaced at that time). Power comes from a 2.4-liter diesel inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The vehicle was optioned with a manual sunroof (in perfect working order), air conditioning (compressor works but there is a leak in the system), and a pneumatic locking system that no longer functions. The original Becker stereo has been upgraded with a Blaupunkt CD player (original stereo is included). The 240D has 222,927 original miles. All original sales documentation and maintenance paperwork is available. Recent repairs include replacement of the clutch (at 218,099 miles); new rotors/pads/master cylinder (at 220,767 miles); and a new battery (at 222,837 miles). Vehicle has been garaged and diligently maintained since purchase and is in excellent mechanical condition. It has a clean Georgia title in the seller’s name.
Flaws in the vehicle include a small number of minor scratches and dings (see photos – two small dents in hood are hard to capture in photos); a non-functioning power antenna and clock; rust in passenger-side rear wheel-well (quarter-size hole has been repaired); a minor oil pan leak; blinker lever will not remain in locked position; and worn leather on both front seats (see photos).
