1984 Euro 1984 W123 300d, Post Mechanical and Cosmetic Refurbishment
This video shows a W123 I found for cheap and then fixed up. Mechanically speaking, it needed a lot of work so I pulled the engine and transmission. Every gasket and wear item was replaced and the car is now running perfectly.
I also removed the entire interior, piece by piece, to detail it as best as possible. Lastly I corrected the original single-stage paint with a multi step process. The result of all of this is a well presenting original W123 with the unique color of Altrot paint code: 585.
Thanks for watching

This piece of meat is just perfect. Love love love it and envy you. This is one of the colors I’ve always wanted in Euro spec. And it’s a stick! Never saw a turbodiesel with a stick none the less in Calfironia.. Let’s go on a ride together! I doubt my 240d will keep up!!!
Bu 123 nerde satılıkmi almak istiyorumda slmlr
It lives in California but not for sale.
Very nice and clean car
Impresionante esta nuevo. 👌👌👌👌👌
That is beautiful, great colour/trim option. I have a 1981 w123 200 4 speed manual I bought off the German Embassy in New Zealand in 1989 . This was my fist Mercedes and I just cant bear to part with it. They are an incredibly strong well built vehicle.
When Mercs were classy and built like tanks not todays plastic , fake vents generic cars.
Can you drive an old diesel in the States? In Belgium old diesels are almost not allowed any more.
Interesting. I'm almost positive you can in any state in the USA. I'm in California and it is no problem at all. Any diesel cars/truck 1997 and older don't have to go in to get emissions test either (California). I also find it interesting that in other parts of the world (and some states here) your vehicle needs a full inspection to drive it legally. This is not the case in California. In theory you could drive a car with holes everywhere from rust with no brakes and be able to legally register and drive it.
@@SunderlandMorrow Interesting also :-) It's all about clean air and the environment.... Maybe they are lying to us and it's all about the money (selling new cars) In Europe some manufacturers will stop making diesel end petrol cars in a couple of years. (They will go full electric, which is not the future, hydrogen is...) Oh, by the way, i got my driver license with a Mercedes: 240D 3.0 from 1974, same engine as yours, with 4 speed shifter at the steering wheel.
Beaut.

What a gorgeous car. I love my 300cd.
gorgeous - can I have it?
This Benz still has 700,000 kms of trouble free engine life!
In the past they made Cars, now they make Toys.
👍👍👍👍
nice to see
Glorios 123 and the year 1978 She his bee produced and I burned.
Is it for sale. Love the manual _my dad had a 5 cylinder.
It isn't. I bought it about 3 years ago and I'll probably keep it till the grave.
love your w123, I've had 2 myself many years back, a very early 1976 200 petrol and an 1981 240D both second hand from the first owners, both great cars I especially liked the 240D until it got written off! Just curious about your dash, did the original owner have it converted to miles when she imported it to the US from Germany ? perhaps together with the ac system at Mercedes dealership?
I believe when the car was shipped from Germany to California and federalized, the odometer and speedometer must have been swapped out for mph and miles. During the federalization process, as far as I know, the car needs to comply to USA standards. The bumpers usually have to be changed to USA, headlights, tail lights, speedometer/odometer etc. and then you are allowed to legally drive the car. Once again , as far as I know, it is a process done by importing companies or the "Grey market" from back then. Anyways, the lady was originally from Germany and I could discern that she wanted to keep her car just as it came. Usually they swap the headlights out for the sealed beam USA ones, which they did, but when I bought the car it had the Euro lights in and the USA ones were in the trunk (brand new mind you, as in she had the USA lights taken off and Euro lights put back on as soon as she got the car in California) That being said I don't think swapping the odometer back to Km and Kmph would have been very feasible for her. I kind of want to contact her and get more info on the car but she seemed very sensitive to the situation of having to get rid of her beloved car of 30+ years. I believe she couldn't drive anymore and that was the reason for selling.
@@SunderlandMorrow The W123 looks so much better for having Euro lights and Bumpers, it's nice that you know the story behind your car, makes it that much more special.
Très belle voiture C'est du solide germanique
The doors closing...perfect 😍👍
AMAZING W123
Just a dream! Unfortunately very rare meanwhile, even the 5-cylinder.....
