| 1985 300GD for sale in USA
It kills me to let this go and with changing life here is the advert. Yours for $21,000. Professionally appraised 8/17/13 at $22,500. This G was “found” a couple of years ago here in Portland and has since had a lot of work done with the running gear and body. Since 2010 when I purchased it I’ve done interior/exterior body work with a new paint job and some accessories. Below is a detailed list of recent upgrades:
1. 617A diesel engine from a 1985 300SD California Edition ~125,000 miles
2. Exhaust system replacement – 2008
3. Driveline straighten and balance – 2008
4. Transmission rebuild – 2008
5. Wheel bearing kit front – 2009
6. Flush and patch fuel tank – 2012
7. Paint job (MB Onyx Gray color 721) including replacing passenger and driver foot floor boards, rhino liner interior base – 2012. There is now zero rust on this vehicle.
8. Front brake caliper rebuild – 2012
9. Dual RedTop battery installation with wench – 2012.
10. Trailer lights setup (us version)
No A/C. I've heard of a fella adding an A/C compressor on a similar setup and that it was a lot of work.
Included are the wench, the original vinyl carpets (now replaced with Rhino Liner), a stainless steel brush guard (painted black) and original seats, including bench, with all needed hardware for installation. I just put $700 into adjusting the valves, new rubber in the passenger doors and new dif locker master cylinder rebuild kits.

A minor point. Based on the VIN, it was built in early 1984, so it's not a 1985. |
