Kent Bergsmas 1982 300SD Sedan with DTC 200 CWX Conversion Installed

300SD lapis for sale

This could possibly be one of the best 126 300SDs in the country. Kent spent a lot of time searching for this example and then completing the upgrades and modifications. The project started by looking for an all original paint totally rust and damage free 300SD. Of course it had to be the right color combination. Lapis Blue. Palomino Leather. Extensive refurbishing and upgrading. One of the nicest you will find anywhere. It is a visual knockout. Newer style factory 15 inch wheels and gorgeous engine compartment you can almost eat off of.

In the trunk you will find our unique fuel sump heater with both coolant heat and an electric rapid heater. Also note the optional electric boost fuel pump mounted in the spare tire well. It is a tight fit for this equipment but there is still plenty of room for a standard size spare tire. On the left is the 6 gallon tank for diesel purge fuel. Note the tank is installed inside a plastic tub to keep any diesel fuel from spilling into the trunk.

We still have a couple DTC-200 CWX kits available. They are all prebuilt and ready to install in all 116 300SD and all 123 and 126 diesels from 1977 to 1984 (sorry 1985s have their obstructions. When these are gone no more prebuilt kits will be available. All future conversions will be offered as Builders Kits- this will save you money by allowing you to do much of the assembly work yourself.
