We kept our 1983 240D Benz for 25 years after buying it used 1 year in 1984. It had around 260k miles on it...... My wife wishes there was a car somewhere that she could still see the corners on, like she could on the 240D. None exist. .
Slap a turbo on it. the 5 cylinder variant of this engine (as used in the 300D) was in some models turbocharged to 190hp off factory, and 230hp for long distance racing. 4/5 of 190hp is still 150hp, a vast improvement over the 70hp standard... 100hp would be cool for this engine, without requiring different swirl chambers in the heads, etcetera.The poor girl can't get out of her own way on the freeways these days with all the fast cars. Too dangerous to drive in heavy traffic.
04 Isuzu NPR stakebed (8x14 ft bed) GMC 6.0L V-8 gas engine--50500 miles.
1989 Ford F-250, 7.3 diesel, 375,000 miles on original engine. Rebuilt the tranny about 200,000 miles ago. Starting to show its age though.
