This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 240D is finished in Medium Red over a tan MB-Tex interior and was acquired by the seller in 2017, reportedly from the family of the original owner. Power is provided by a 2.4-liter diesel inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes air conditioning, a Volkswagen-branded AM/FM cassette stereo, wood interior trim, a heated rear window, and 14″ wheels with body-color wheel covers.
The car is finished in Medium Red (516) and features a chrome front grille, window trim, bumpers, and mirror covers. Additional exterior equipment includes a heated rear window, headlamps with inner foglights, and ribbed taillights.
14″ steel wheels wear body-color centers and are mounted with a mixed set of Michelin Rainforce and Michelin Harmony tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and disc brakes at all four corners.
The interior upholstered in tan MB-Tex with matching carpets as well as a contrasting black dashboard with inlaid wood trim. Amenities include a lockable glove compartment, crank windows, and a Volkswagen-branded AM/FM cassette stereo. The air conditioning system does not work and the seller reports that the front seat bottom cushions have been replaced.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a combination gauge indicating oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows just over 156k miles.
The 2.4-liter OM616 diesel inline-four was rated at 67 horsepower and 97 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.
