Texas is such a large state, why can't I find the damn car I'm looking for?? I actually have the cash, and I now I can't find what I want... Wtf?
-
You want something super specific that's moderately desirable in working condition, and requires a lot of maintenance, so when they're not in working condition they're often junked. Hope you can find one anyway. But those old Mercedes-Benz sedans do require a lot of pricey maintenance.
-
Pricey maintenance isn't much of an object. I've grown up with these cars all my life. I'd love to see an American made car from that era with 300K miles on it that isn't total junk. A junked Merc like that can be restored to working condition, and handle another 300K.

Has been up all night looking for his future W123, stumbled across some other great benzes.
-
Expanded his car search to the neighboring states of Texas. No luck so far... What is it with me and wanting rare things?!

With the standard diesel engine alone, it'll average 33-40 mpg depending on driving habits. With a $600 kit, I can run waste veggie oil, straight veggie oil, and diesel or bio-diesel all in one tank. I know plenty of places around town that would love to give me their waste oil for free.

I have a 1984 300TD with a 5-speed manual - it was never offered in the states with a 5-speed, just the 4-speed. Being an old Mercedes, it has issues, and it's been garaged for a little over a year because of a fuckup somewhere in the transmission linkage - stuck in first gear. Interior is tan, exterior is gold. Not quite what you're looking for...
-
I know, thanks though, Shandy. It's out there, I can feel it.

Can not find 240D with a standard transmission to save my life... It must somehow be related to those parts I can't seem to find for my Taurus revolver...
-
I had one about 3 months ago, sold the entire car w/manual trans. for $350.

Tranny

Tye, was is in terrible condition? Cause they usually fetch more than that.

Debating a 300D Turbo instead of an engine swap. Researching a auto to manual trans swap now...
-
Oh, i thought it might be a brand of turbo like Master Power or Borg Warner.
-
Or rather a model of a brand of turbo.
-
No. It's just a 3.0L 5-cylinder engine with a turbocharger in the 300D. The 240D has a non-turbo 2.4L 4-cylinder. Either of which will guarantee an average of 33-35 mpg. Up to 40 on the highway, even with straight veggie oil. I'd love to just cruise by gas stations knowing I don't have to stop there anymore.

Called around for parts again. No luck.
