This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 200D is a column-shift 4-speed manual example with 92,356 miles. It is powered by its factory 2.0L diesel engine and described as a largely original three-owner survivor by the seller who purchased the car directly from its second owner of 35 years. This 200D is said to run and drive well with a complete service file dating back to 1967. Recently, the head gasket was professionally replaced along with new tires, new brakes and a battery for a $3000 total service. It is now offered with an impressive history file back to new, original build card, all books and manuals, a spares package detailed below and a clean Texas title with classic vehicle license plates and state inspection valid through April 2017.

To the seller’s knowledge, this car was repainted once in its original color and retains factory exterior panels with no evidence of prior accident damage found. Chrome and brightwork are described as clean throughout and the windshield has several wiper-related scratches in the glass as detailed in the photo gallery below.

The paint has faded with time. The body itself appears largely straight with several dings and flaws seen in photos, particularly on the driver’s door. Some of the window seals have dried out, causing the headliner to sag in the driver’s-side rear window.

The seller has inspected this 200D and found a small amount of surface rust but no major rot in the body or underneath the vehicle. The car looks good sitting on painted hubcaps with four new tires recently installed.

Inside, this 200D has been kept as original as possible with all chrome and trim pieces noted present and in good condition. The seats appear clean in photos with moderate wear and a split seam on the driver’s seat outer bolster as detailed in the photo gallery.

The seller notes that all wood trim on the dash is in nice condition, though the upper dashboard has a crack above the HVAC controls. All gauges, instrumentation and lighting are said to be in working order aside from the VDO dashboard clock–a spare clock is included with the sale. A/C is noted to be functional and cold.

The rear seats are in similarly well-preserved condition. The seller notes the left-rear door window regulator is broken and disconnected. A replacement regulator is included with the sale.

Mechanically, this 200D is powered by its factory 2.0L diesel engine mated to a column-shifted 4-speed manual transmission. The head gasket was professionally replaced within the past several months while other recent servicing includes a brake job and new battery.

The car is described as reliable with the seller adding 350 trouble-free miles during the last month alone. The engine provides adequate power and the transmission shifts well in all gears.

Documentation for this 200D is extensive, dating back to 1967 including the original build card, books and owner’s manuals shown above. The first owners took delivery of the vehicle in late 1966 and had the car until 1980.

The second owner was a retired pilot who had the car until the seller’s purchase in late 2015. He kept a logbook detailing 35 years of ownership with a list of all maintenance performed. A box of all receipts and maintenance records are included with the sale and detailed in the photo gallery below. The seller will also include several boxes of spares including two gauge/indicator consoles, a spare set of wheels with tires, light assemblies and more.
