Back when benz was truly still a quality car
Looks like some electrical gremlins, I'd just start replacing fuses and see what comes to life. Good buy!
Body and engine seem in great shape. That blue is really nice! Happy holidays to you and the C&C crew.
Never seen a car that wasn't a barn find change color like that!!😳🤯👍👍
I have had several of those 300d's they have a really good engine design and will run a very long time
Sounds like a really solid runner. Great cars once you get all the little things sorted out.
These things are awesome. Possibly one of the best cars ever made.
Score! Even if you can't do anything with the car people will pay top dollar just for the engine. Real popular for 4x4 swaps
Merry Christmas Isaac and the best to you and yours in the NEW YEAR
A few things the Germans got right was their beer and the cars,good find issac
Give it a buff in Polish!! Love to see that blue come back to shine!!
I bought a 95 e-320 out of a barn about two years ago for three hundred. Six hundred dollars and two months later I licenced it and have been driving it since. It's got 228,000 on it and it's one of the best cars I have ever owned. Good buy on this one!
Merry Christmas Ike and John, this is another great addition to your fleet of unique autos, back in the late 80's when i worked for Volvo here in Canada in sales and leasing i took a number of these in on trade and some pretty minty condition and one stood out in particular, it was a white 300TD wagon with the tan interior with around 300kms, 186k miles, for analyst 10 yr old car, it was a gem, 100 % dealer serviced and ran and functioned 100% every single feature in the car worked right down to the power antenna and after we had cleaned it up for sale in the used car dept, I took it home for a long weekend trip and it sat on the highway happily at 65 mph hour for us and got over 30mpg Canadian with 4 of us in the car and burned a single tank of diesel, man what comfortable car and the A/C blew good and cold the only things we had to do with the car for safety was a leaky front caliper on the passenger side and new front pads fluid changes and front shocks , the clear coat was flaking in some spots so we had it redone and the car looked so crazy good and did not take long to sell at all , a guy from the country like it, bought it and drove it to over half a million kilometres before he sold it and bought another car from us, he loved it and said it never failed to start ever as long as the block heater was plugged in during the winter and our winters hit -25 to 30 regularly here in central Canada 👍
What a nice color it really is blue!!
Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Merry Christmas Ike
To be just about 40 years old, she looks and sounds amazing!
The carwash makes her look ten years younger.
Thanks for sharing!
Definitely the ignition switch! Didn't look like anything electronic turned on when you hit it, just the engine. Guarantee that's why that new switch was in there! Cool car!
My friend just bought one in central Portugal, 130,000 miles it is in almost mint condition........ we also had problems with interior heater and radio not working, it has play in the ignition barrel, if we turn the key back a tiny amount the heater works, new ignition and wiring needed....... you bought a great car
Wow!-cleaned up nicely!
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Those old Mercedes’ were built so well. It was awesome to hear it start right up and run so smoothly.
hey Ike, this car needs to be buffed and waxed..it will be so classy..the thing i noticed was no electricals...got some gremlins in the wiring maybe ..no brake lights, back up lights, radio, windows etc..good luck on that bud..sendin some Bama love ya'lls way
Dude I'm stoked to see your own channel and I love these cars!
What a fantastic find. Shes a keeper
I had an 82 300 Turbo Coupe loved it with over 200,000 on it and was doing great till I loaned it to a business partner for a Wedding he put Unleaded gas in it. I sold it to my Mechanic who was A German Citizen to be rebuilt for his son. Speedometer going to 85 I broke a few cables. Loved it. We lived in Phoenix Az so the A/C Compressor was rebuilt almost every summer
Good little car . Thanks for the video.
I’ve seldom seen one of these fire up so quickly. This is the identical twin to the 300D my stepdad had in the late 8o’s. Great car
Awesome...love the color!
Cool , nothing better than when a plan comes together !
It's definitely a great buy and a great addition to your collection.
Great car Ike, enjoy!
Excellent! Merry Christmas, Ike!
Awesome car, I owed a 82 240D and a 80, 300D back in.the 90s. Awesome cars built like tanks
If this engine has oil it will run. I have driven an 84 and an 85. Both had about 500k miles on the clock. Both would roast the tires through first into second gear and hit 100mph on the highway.
What sorta om617 do you have?!! These things will not do 100 mph downhill or burn the tires off into second. Hell they won't break the tires free except in rain or ice. That was an awfully bold uneducated statement to claim of what these cars can do..😂
Ok, let's hear where your vast wealth of knowledge comes from.

That's just awesome! I've wanted an old Mercedes diesel for years.
Love the color.Happy Holidays
It’s a Christmas miracle! Congratulations on a solid purchase
I thought it was painted flat black.(a bit color blind anyway).That blue really came out after the wash.Sweet buy.Merry Christmas to all !
Great job as always! Mercedes are such good cars, I'm betting that it will be a good one for you. Merry Christmas John!
Ike, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all your family and friends. Keep saving and respecting those old machines.
Love it! Thanks for posting this video
Great find. This Old Man wishing you guys a Merry Christmas 🎄. Love your videos. 🛵🧔💝💝💝
Indestructable 💪🏻
Awesome, Issac your a machine magician. I love your videos, keep em coming. Happy holidays
Daily driver... You look good in that Benz. Merry Christmas! Thanks for the content.
You got a really good deal runs real good Merry Christmas
That is a very nice car you’ll enjoy that for years great daily driver
Great find! It's important to keep these W123's alive and well. Best cars ever built. I have two and love them both daily. A real joy to own.
Merry Christmas 🎅 man love the videos
I like the Benz it's a nice car. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Awesome car man. That's one of my bucket list vehicles.
I've always loved those cars. My old boss had one for a few years. It wasn't a turbo and was pretty slow but it was an amazing car. You can put a layer or 2 of fiberglass on the dash to cover the cracks then paint it black and nobody will give it a second thought.
Love the Benz ,,Merry Christmas
.....geez, I thought you guys were joking about a bad brown paint job.....it really was blue! Awesome find Ike.
Sounds like a proper Diesel Merc to me. A real good purchase and alot of carefree miles once you get the small things sorted out.
Great video. Merry Christmas.
Looks like you added another great car to your collection after a little bit of work on it, have a Merry Christmas
My dad had that same color/model year mercedes. They run like a fine sewing machine. Awesome buy
Sweet ride!
Awesome cars ! That's gonna be a sweet ride and they are appreciating in value too .
Merry Christmas to you and the c&c boys
Cool car. I seriously thought it was brown. Must have been sitting awhile. Hopefully, we will see more of this car. I think this year/style is the one I like the best. These cars were new when I was a kid. Brings back memories. Got to drive one once. Was about the same year and model. Real comfortable car to ride around in. Sadly, they are known for electrical gremlins, even today.
Nice grab, love the color...I wish i could find one like that
Great video sir and Merry Christmas
I think it's a great find Ike, once the little kinks are worked out it will make a heck of a nice road car.
awesome car isaac great deal
Isaac you made a good buy.
That make a fella a hell of a going to town rig,nice finde💯😎
That 300D has always been one of my all-time favorite cars. And that sky blue '66 Chevy pick-up is one of my all-time favorite trucks, too.
Nice find bud I like the old Benzes, Merry Christmas
I never seen you fire one up that quick. Sounds good.
Merry Christmas Buddy,have a great weekend.👍👍
I LIKE Turbo Diesels and this one is not rotten so that alone is pretty rare. engine sou ds so healthy, and its fun to drive as it is. repair all digitals to work, fix an AC and enjoy the car. it deserves to be driven. Old Mercedes and Volvos are always fun!
Nice car! Picked up a project yesterday for myself. 2005 BMW 545i 6 speed manual. Merry Christmas!!
That thing does sound awesome!!
Runs really nice, Merry Christmas Isaac
i got myself a 95 e300 N/A OM606 and i love it besides it hating me in return of fixing it up and then it crapping out like a typical benz but they’re amazing and their ain’t nothing like them
Nice motor you can't beat older german engineering I love my old 1990 bmw 3 series 2.5 325i loverly car to work on Germany did it right back then
That was awesome Luck! Sounds great!
Very cool find in such great shape. One of the nicer classic European rides.
I got a 98 300 TD as well it's a a beauty too liked your have restoring it. Keep in touch 😉😉☺️
Great color
Looks like a great buy.
Excellent video Issac :) also Mercedes Benz cars are amazing especially use there motor in Ford cars too also roomie too and lots more also and have classic too! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2022 ahead too!
Pretty sweet BENZO IKE!! 👌
Great video as always man! you are so fun to watch work on things I love your hearse I hope to see it some more I would like to have one and paint it black and red cruise through town in it. Keep making videos man I enjoy every one of them merry late Christmas Isaac!
Good looking daily drive! I had an 1958 same color you can run them for ever and put thru hell and won't die! Enjoy
Merry Christmas Isaac, I wish you great projects 💯🎅🎄🥂
Hi from MamaCard in Florida. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Wow that thing cleaned up great and looks really good. Nice ride, I would definitely drive it!
They are a great car but here in Australia parts cost an arm and a leg to buy.
Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
I too have had many a Mercedes Diesel (over 75), and they are great cars! I know you are experienced with these cars, having worked on them in your previous job. By the way, there is no "T" in Dexron....
Excellent buy!! Looks good, runs well. Nice colour blue.
Thanks 👍
Awesome Isaac that it started right up. Maybe you can find the electric flaws. So cool
i remember in germany in the mid 80s these were used as taxis. what a bargain! a little TLC, and this will be a sweet ride. i'd hang on to it for a while and make it my daily. at least for 30,000 miles. that will give you time to work out all the bugs, but still won't be seriously cutting into the useable miles this is capable of.
North Africa is still awash with W123's running as taxis having finished doing so in Germany etc.
That Benz is a keeper. A real Goin' to Town Rig! (VGG)
Merry Xmas Isaac and all the best for the New Year .....
the old mercs are the best. my dad has a 1998 C250 elegance. great cars. 😁 Merry Christmas to you guys. 👍🏼🎄🎅☃️🎁
I love the fact you took it on the grand prix
Sweet Ride
Of course this old diesel engine will run. It’s probably the last thing that stops working on these cars. Love this buy. Thanks for sharing
I think youre reading my mind haha, I bought a 1977 non turbo 300d and I'm headed to get a new turbo engine tomorrow!
Excellent 👌 ☮
