Re: [MBZ] 1976 Mercedes-Benz 3000 diesel 3000,$9,988
I owned the same car/same color scheme in 1983-1984. Purchased for $9,500 and sold for 8,500 after considerable repairs due to 50K mile rollback of the odometer by the PO, who happened to be Iranian. There were telltale scratches on the dash where he had pried out the instrument cluster. It had a reserve tank so I could drive 600 miles between fuelings. I have no regrets since it is the second most beautiful color Mercedes offered after moss green metallic.

Assistant Chief of Police Charles Herman Driggers, Sr. Elba Police Department, Alabama End of Watch Wednesday, September 2, 1964 Assistant Chief Charles Driggers was shot and killed and a Coffee County Deputy Sheriff was wounded while attempting to serve a peace warrant on a man.
