Summary
This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300D features a replacement 4.3-liter V8 and five-speed automatic transmission sourced from a 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK430, along with numerous other modifications including Audi S4 front seats and an E350 steering rack. The car was previously sold on BaT in December 2021, but the seller notes clear-coat runs, interior wear, and a driveline vibration above 50 mph. The instrument cluster does not have an odometer, and total mileage is unknown; the engine swap has not been inspected by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair.
