Description

1976 mercedes 240D (W115 chassis) for sale. Diesel engine, 4speed manual transmission. Mileage is unknown as the odometer doesn’t work but the speedometer works just fine. Car originally came from California and was imported by the previous owner in Toronto. It has always been stored in the winter so, it is virtually rust free. Comes with a bunch of spare parts, some brand new, some older stock. I have an air suspension kit which can be sold separately as well as earlier spec bumpers. Nardi...

Our Take:
  • Classic Diesel Cruiser: The 1976 Mercedes-Benz 240D, built on the W115 chassis, is a quintessential representation of Mercedes' commitment to durability and efficiency during the era. Known for its robust OM616 diesel engine, this model was a darling among taxi drivers worldwide for its reliability and frugal fuel consumption, despite its leisurely pace.
  • Manual Transmission Delight: Featuring a 4-speed manual transmission, this car adds a bit of driver engagement that's often missing in many modern cars. It's not just a vehicle; it’s an experience—one that demands a little patience but rewards with a pure, analog feel. Fans of the era might compare shifting gears on a 240D to crafting a fine espresso—each step deliberate and satisfying.
  • California Roots, Canadian Care: Originally hailing from California, this particular 240D has been spared the harsh northern winters thanks to its regular storage, leading to its impressive, virtually rust-free condition. This is especially important for a car of this vintage; rust-free models in such good condition are getting scarcer, making it a prized find for collectors.
  • Added Flair and Flexibility: The inclusion of spare parts, plus the availability of an air suspension kit and earlier spec bumpers, offers flexibility for restoration or customization enthusiasts. For those who appreciate a blend of original charm and modern enhancements, the optional Nardi steering wheel is akin to adding a dash of fresh fig to an old family recipe—unexpected yet delightful.
