Lovely 'whip'. I have debated one of these many times.

[thowes24]

Nice! I'd love to pick up a 280sel.

[ZLandrum]

Welp, i got it - going back to tomorrow to bring it home, the diesel ran out whilst idling in the dark, so i'll be back there tomorrow to get it up and going... Will make a great daily from what i can tell!

edit: Price i got it for was $1,500.00 runs and drives well from what i can tell so far.

Looks good, need some diplomat flags on the fenders.

[ZLandrum]

Got some cell phone pictures 'till i can get the camera charged!

that thing is sweet

[Nairb]

Wow, amazing.

I love old MB diesel cars.. I have a 1985 300sd, and that thing is a beast! Can't seem to kill it.

Good find!

Put a modern powerful diesel and enjoy cruising in classic german style.

Nice pickup.

I bet parts are stupid expensive for that if you can even find them though.

The valve cover gasket was just put on, and it costed $8.00. The guy i bought it from is going to give me the contacts of a place that carries all the parts needed for them. The car also came with all the original manuals, and radio manuals and everything, with very detailed illustrations of everything single part in the entire car (breaks down the tranny, and everything too). I'll probably keep everything original as it actually moves quicker than i thought it would, once it's up to speed. The only thing i may change is i may swap in a newer 240D manual tranny, as the one in this one is auto, and i'd rather have a manual tranny. I'll keep y'all posted with new pictures once the camera can get charged up!

Any engine shots?

[ZLandrum]

Yeah, i've got some, but the camera died, so i'm waiting to get the charger for it.
