1980 MERCEDES BENZ 280TE W123 280 TE 4 speed manual wagon

1980 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series 280TE 280 TE Description:

I'm selling my 1980 Mercedes Benz 280TE Euro Wagon with a 4 speed manual transmission. This is a very rare car that was not available n the US. It has the most powerful 6 cylinder engine available in the W123 body cars with a 4 speed manual gearbox. The engine is a Euro spec high compression M110 engine with Bosch CIS fuel injection, making 185hp. The car is quick and can keep up with any traffic on the highway. Transmission is a manual 4 speed transmission. The odometer is showing 255XXX miles.
The car runs and drives well and stops well. I drive it regularly to my hobby shop which is 65 miles each way tand it does not miss a beat. I've owned this car for around 5 years now and it has always behaved well. I would not be concerned about driving it to California tomorrow.
The Mercedes Benz data card indicates that it's a Euro 'taxi' spec car which means that it's very basic on the inside. No A/, no electric windows and a manual sunroof so there is very little with this car that can break.
Car runs well and shifts smooth. There is noisy bearing in the transmission that you hear in first gear, It's been that way since I bought the car and has never given me a problem. The exhaust rattles a little from mis-adjustment and could use a little work. It handles and stops well and is very stable on the road.
Since owning it, I've replaced the clutch, all 4 tires with new Goodyear tires that still have 90% of their tread and all the fluids (gearbox, engine and diff).I found the car in Oregon. It had a salvage title which was caused by the hood being unlatched which lifted and smashed against the windshield. This is how I bought it andall I had to do is replace the windshield and the hood hinges in order to get the car back on the road.
It has an MP3 bluetooth Alpine Radio.
As you will see in the pictures, it is a 39 year old car and does have blister, blemishes an areas that may need attention. It is however a very nice car that can be driven daily as is. I've had the car on the lift and it's very solid underneath. The only area if rust that needs addressing is the inner fender section where the hing mounts. This is a common problem area where leaves build up.
It has a blue Texas rebuilt title that is in my name.

I truly love this car and hate to sell it. I own several other cars so I don't drive it much. I'd like to find it a better home with someone who can really appreciate it.

I have tried to describe in pictures and videos to the best of my ability the condition of this car. As it is a 39 year old car and there is some wear, tear and damage and the car should be considered as normal for a car of its age and therefore I am selling it in as is condition with all sales being final.
Local pick up is fin, I will work with out of state buyers in assisting with loading should you wish to hire a transport company to ship it to you.
