More about this car
This 1984 300CD has been my weekend and occasional daily driver for the past 9 years. VIN WDBAB53A0EA154921. I’ve maintained this car with a semi-open checkbook on mechanical reliability related matters but have not prioritized cosmetics. This is arguably the best year for this somewhat rare model as it was the final year before the CA emissions silliness in 1985 which was its true final year of production. Hoping this will go to a good home that continue to enjoy this mechanical wonder for decades to come.
The good:
Fully Klima-Kit AC system upgrade, including Sanden compressor, parallel row condenser, high performance electric cooling fan, dryer, etc.
And in the past 2k miles:
5 x new 15” Bundt wheels, with titanium lugs, and new center caps as well as 5 x new General Altimax tires.
New brakes all around, and flushed brake fluid with correct new fluid.
Liquimoly diesel purge treatment followed by new primary and secondary fuel filters.
Fresh Rotella T6 oil and Mann filter.
During my ownership:
New CVJ half-axles.
5 x matched Monarch fuel injectors
New brakes lines
All new suspension, engine and transmission mounts, belts, hoses, steering suspension components like control arms, etc. Pretty much anything that could go wrong after decades has been replaced with the OEM / name brand German components.
Meticulous oil & filter changes every 5k miles with Rotella T6.
Liquimoly diesel purges at every fuel filter change.
Valve adjustments at proper intervals.
Including a bunch of spares in the sale such as specialty tools like the valve adjustment offset wrenches.
Newer AGM battery. New hood insulation pad. New headlight barn doors. Upgraded Hella headlights including custom marine grade wiring harness to dedicated battery bus.
The bad:
Rust has taken the fender portions underneath the front bumper. A few other rust nicks and rust including on the rocker panels and a rust hole in the rear wheel well into the trunk. Pictures of the scariest parts. These are manageable and relatively isolated in a few spots and are reflected in the sale price given the balance of mechanical upkeep and improvement.
Rear windows are sketchy on going back up, so I keep them up. Have not used the sunroof in years, but seem to recall a similar situation - including factory lubricant kit from Uncle Ken Bergsma. I have a rebuilt antenna with the spares and haven't installed it as I'm using bluetooth for all music.
Rear seat back upholstery should be replaced (available at Lseat.com for $349) and the rear side panel leather is peeling off the panels near the door but may be salvageable. Rest is pretty good.
I am including two brand new fenders in the sale to address the primary cosmetic issue if desired. Since this is a 1984, the fender removal is dramatically easier than previous years that were glued in place.
Overall, this is a wonderful example that provides some cosmetic project opportunity for anyone inclined and in a mechanical condition that would allow confident cross country driving today. The price is firm and if you can see this ad, the car is available. Still driving semi regularly.
