Bought a Mercedes.

I bent a valve or two in the V8Z, and i just got a job working for the Census, so I needed some cheap, reliable wheels. So enters my new benz, Her name is Blitzkrieg, and she is quite slow.

She may have trouble with making it over anthills, but she has new tires and excellent brakes.

not a big fan but it is clean and I know those ride very comfortably. you can now do the mod to run on oil from like burger joints or restaurants. I see that sometimes here in the bay area. a lot of the young hipster or even some surfer guys once did one with a rack for their surf boards.

That is a sweet ride. I love how the engines in these things always out last the Cluster. i've seen ads that say "ODO reads 337k, but stopped 3 years ago, more like 500k miles" Awesome car, and looks like you got an older one, which looks great also.

Nice benz, and you can convert it to run veggie fuel too

That is an older 240d, '74-'76(?). Sweet ride, a buddy has had 2 240's and now has a couple 220's, they are really comfy and reliable cars. Congrats and I bet you wont be disappointed with it!

This one is not quick, not by any stretch of the imagination. It might have 40 hp.

but its a diesel benz. not only will it outlive most cars, it'll get better mileage than most NEW cars.

I have some alternator belts for sale that fit the 1970's 230 and 240D Mercedes...

I'm pretty sure it wont move out of it's own way, on the other hand though it will outlive the nuclear Holocaust. Then again, if you find a TD, you could snipe the head and be making almost 80 hp! It'd be like a dtm car then...

I think it might get a chevy v8 and 700r4 or 2004r... eventually.
