For Sale: 1976 Mercedes-Benz 300D in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to offer this clean vintage 1976 Mercedes Benz 300D. The 300D became a very successful platform for Daimler-Benz and provided customers with more precise handling, superior road surface irregularity damping and isolation, a more comfortable interior, and more modern styling than the previous chassis had, with its newer, smoother lines. The interior of this Benz shows you what German luxury was all about in the 1970s and features larger seating areas covered in rich red vinyl upholstery, woodgrain interior trim, a large steering wheel, and easy to operate controls. Under the hood are Mercedes' stout and durable inline 5-cylinder diesel engine. Its ability to deliver near-gasoline-engine-like acceleration was a combined result of its seamless torque delivery, and smooth-shifting 4 speed automatic gearbox; which gave the 300D's the ability to easily reach highway speeds without the typical "diesel drama" that lesser types of diesel were known for (you know - the wait, wait, wait, ahh, now we're moving! experience). Merging onto freeway on-ramps was no longer something that one had to plan well in advance for, to avoid being rear-ended by cars already moving at speed. In addition to being well known and popular for their looks, these cars were touted for reliability and durability, with many of them reaching the vaunted "Million Mile" club; and, like this example, are still on the road today. Options on this white beauty include cruise control, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power locks, power windows, air conditioning, AM/FM radio, seat belts, radial tires. This classic has been well kept for its entire life and is ready to provide its next lucky owner with many years and many more miles of fine driving. This is the one you want to own.
