You are looking at Kents low mileage immaculate 124 chassis white diesel sedan. It is getting harder and harder to find these diesels in this condition and with less than 150,000 miles. Kent was fortunate to find this one in Colorado and had it trucked out to the west coast. It has the optional hydraulic limited slip differential and with 200 to 300 pounds in the trunk this rear wheel drive sedan works great in the snow! He loves the crisp handling and modern road feel of the 124 chassis.
Customers often ask us what does Kent drive? We thought we would give you a chance to view up close and personal both his daily wheels of choice and a few of his many collector cars. All of his diesels have been converted to run on straight vegetable oil. I think he just prefers the quiet sound of the engine and the pleasant smell of the exhaust! His gas cars get driven too. The classics get pulled out on sunny days and put through their paces.
INTRODUCTION:
The number one question we receive concerning our SVO conversions is, I have a diesel Mercedes and live in Anycity, USA. I want to get it right? There are so many choices on the market that it is confusing to know which one I should buy. Everyone claims their system is the best. What kit do you recommend?
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.
You are looking at Kents pristine 1979 300SD turbo diesel that he recently acquired from the original owner. This sedan is so cherry the original spare tire has not been out of the trunk. Kent prefers the 116 chassis over the 123 or 126. He feels the ride and handling are smoother and quieter and the their transmissions better shifting and much more predictable.
