 A friend of mine at the MB dealership told me about a 82 SD for sale in the
  Peoria area.  It is white, and supposed to be in good condition.
  According
  to the guy at the dealership, it has been well maintained.  It sounded
  like
  $2500 would buy it, although it was priced at $2995

Heck yes. I grew up in East Peoria.
I was the first human in my family, since the early '30s, to NOT EVER have

I did sell my '71 220D to a VP at CAT named Gilmore...I think it was in '79.

I only drive through Peoria on occasion, except in 95 I did some research 
there.  I think I was in Peoria for 3 days and it was so cold.  I think 
i wore coveralls in the escort to keep warm, and it normally was 
comfortable in winter.  I know one day it warmed up to 0 and the sun was 
out, so I went to a parts store and rigged up a manual pushbutton  relay 
for the glow plugs.  I think that trip was the only time I had trouble 
starting the escort.


Beres at Pekin was the closest dealer to where I grew up.  Got my first 
(and only) factory crate shortblocks (OM621) there.

Re: [MBZ] 82 300SD For Sale Peoria

2006-01-17 Thread Loren Faeth
I think Beres was the oldest dealer in the country at that 
time.  Bickelhaupt Motors in Clinton, IA was another oldie.  They were 
originally Studie and IH trucks, then when Studie started to distribute MB, 
they got in the MB business.  They had an old building they stored NOS 
parts in.  The owner let me go through there in the early 80s and pick out 
stuff for 110/111 cars.  In My ere they were MB and IH trucks.  An 
interesting combination.  Burly truck drivers and girlie man lawyers in the 
same shop.


Yeah, I was a real oddity at Beres when i brought back the first short 
block and had to prove to them a headbolt hole was completely missing.  I 
was 19 then.  They kept telling me on the phone this is impossible  Sound 
like an old german?  I still have the engine crate in my living room.  I 
varnished it and put hinges  on the lid.  Love that big black star on the 
crate!


Interestingly enough, the head salesman at the dealer in Pekin now is an IH 
collector.  He is a client of my brother's and that is how I met him.
