4.3L V8-Powered 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300D

The 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300D, originating from Stanford, California, is a distinctive vintage vehicle with a unique powertrain replacement. This classic German W123 model features an era-defying swap: its original inline-six diesel engine has been swapped out for a robust and powerful 4.3-liter V8 sourced from a 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK430, which is coupled with a five-speed automatic transmission. Notably, this rare combination of vintage Mercedes design and modern performance was previously auctioned on Bring A Trailer in December 2021.
