Why It’s Curated: This 1983 Mercedes 300GD for sale in the San Francisco Bay Area is a rare importation from a Santa Fe, New Mexico dealer in period that imported approximately 300 vehicles that came with a US VIN number. This vehicle has a clean California title and can easily be registered again in California, or in other locales. This example benefits from a replacement OM617 Turbo Diesel engine which increases the horsepower approximately 50% to 123 horsepower from stock. The extensive work done on this vehicle (engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, etc.) is all documented with a receipt binder inches thick, and 10’s of thousands of dollars spent.
