Overview of 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD For Sale by Owner

The legendary Mercedes-Benz W123 series was made between 1975 and 1986. In fact, nearly 2.7 million examples found grateful owners in countless countries across the globe. Even today, one can easily find W123s running in certain countries, doing taxi or family transportation duties in a reliable and dependable manner. The W123 was made in sedan, estate, coupe and limousine forms. This particular 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is a coupe, and it’s fresh from a restoration that took eight years to finalize, as reported by the current owner. We’re told that everything was sourced from Germany, and that the only thing that remains to be addressed is the air conditioning. So, even though this car has traveled over 95,000 miles, it’s just been given a new lease of life, and you could be its lucky owner.

Exterior and Interior

We’re told that this newly-repainted 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD has received new rubber components and new seals everywhere. Hence, you can consider it to be nearly factory fresh, in all its glory. The black paint brings out the timeless Bruno Sacco and Friedrich Geiger-penned styling that still looks fresh in 2024. Speaking of fresh, the car rides on fresh rubber courtesy of new tires, and we’re told that it’s also got new moldings and new chromework everywhere. Clearly, no expense was spared with restoring this classic Teutonic machine. The tan interior of this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is, you guessed it, a new OEM interior as we’ve been told. Able to swallow up four adults with ease, you’ll definitely enjoy the unparalleled comfort of those plush, leather-upholstered seats. Then, you have the classic-styled Mercedes-Benz analog gauge cluster, and center stack with a period-correct Becker Europa radio cassette player. Remember that the air conditioning isn’t functional yet, but that’s likely all you’ll have to do when you buy this car.

Engine

Packing a sturdy 3.0L in-line five-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is a gentle cruiser that can keep going for hours and hours.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
