Other than that it runs and drives as it should . I recently drove it on a 120 mile road trip cruising between 65 -75 miles an hour.

I'm sure everyone is aware that these Euro 300d seldom come up for sale , let alone in this original and well preserved condition.

The cracking dash and the A/C potential issues (compressor, etc) equal unknown $$ to repair. Don’t know what chassis issues there are ( steering, body mounts, etc) , as no photos shown. Reason for the bid at this amount…😉. Let’s see how it goes!November 13th, 2024 at 4:24pm EST$6,500 bid placed by @TrentJpkrNovember 12th, 2024 at 5:51pm EST$6,000 bid placed by @GlowplugNovember 12th, 2024 at 4:40pm EST$5,277 bid placed by @BD450SLNovember 12th, 2024 at 4:14pm EST$4,000 bid placed by @GlowplugNovember 12th, 2024 at 1:41pm EST$3,250 bid placed by @BD450SLNovember 11th, 2024 at 1:59pm EST$3,000 bid placed by @GlowplugNovember 9th, 2024 at 3:57am EST$2,250 bid placed by @BD450SLNovember 8th, 2024 at 3:19pm EST$2,000 bid placed by @GlowplugNovember 8th, 2024 at 2:11pm EST$1,250 bid placed by @Ranger902November 8th, 2024 at 1:15pm ESTHank66 (2) Seller 0Hello. My apologies for late response, but i was waiting to hear back from the previous owner . According to him , the car was imported in 1988 from Belgium. It was taken to the shop in Santa Maria California where it remained for 20 years , which is confirmed by the entries in the service manual and invoices. Sometime during that 20 year span the car was equipped to be ran on vegetable oil ; However, it was never ran on vegetable oil. The previous owner, who took ownership in 2007 never ran it on vegetable oil. In 2021 while servicing the car he had the conversion removed. Taking all of the aforementioned information into consideration. It explains the condition of the car , as it was stored indoors at rizzolis mechanic shop for 20 years. This truly is an original paint and well preserved 300d. Happy bidding and thank you all for your questions and input.

The 2021 invoice notes the setup was removed at that time.November 7th, 2024 at 1:09pm ESTHank66 (2) Seller 0The air conditioning doesn't blow cold . I haven't had time to take it in to have it checked . There aren't any rear seat belts . I'm thinking that it being an '84 import, rear seat belts weren't required. November 7th, 2024 at 10:23am ESTmullins7five (0) 0Are there seat belts for the rear seats? Is the A/C operating normally and still R12? Has the A/C ever been worked on?November 6th, 2024 at 11:05pm ESTHank66 (2) Seller 0Hello Fred . My 300d wasn't equipped with cruse control. It appears to be a base model without all of the bells and whistles. Even the windows are manual . One thing that my 300d was equipped with , which i believe to be an option , is head rest on the rear seats. Thanks for your interest and input. November 6th, 2024 at 1:03pm ESTUncleFred1 (12) 0Nice 300D…I was just checking, no cruise control, correct? Was looking for the stalk on the side of the steering column. Thanks!👍😁November 5th, 2024 at 3:31pm EST$1,000 bid placed by @GlowplugNovember 5th, 2024 at 3:20pm EST$550 bid placed by @BD450SLNovember 5th, 2024 at 2:10pm ESTHank66 (2) Seller 0It previously reached a high bid of 11k . Unfortunately. I didn't have a paint meter. I have since purchased a paint meter . The readings are consistent with the car showing 93% original paint. It appears that the passengers rear door may have been repaired at some time . I had a gentleman come and inspect the car during the last auction. He was impressed with the condition of the car and how it ran . He commented that the rear seats appear as if nobody ever sat on them. He also commented that if the car was original paint, as it appears to be , it would put the car on a different level. I made sure to capture a paint reading on every portion of this car for this listing. It truly is a beautiful, original, and well preserved Euro 300d !

I wish they had something similar like bringatrailer where they show a link to the previous auction.November 5th, 2024 at 1:15pm EST$300 bid placed by @elie7elie
