The reason that I speculated that the seats had been re-done rather than come
out of another car is that the rear
seat matches and appears to fit. I sort of doubted that any other later seat
would fit the rear as well as the
original did. Anyone know if seats out of a 123 etc will fit into a 115?

That is the exact A/C system that I have in my 1975 W115 300D, both the
interior and under the hood. Yes, that is
the compressor that you see in the lower left of the pic you mentioned. I
can't remember the brand for sure, but I
think it is a York. I have a spare from my recycled 1976 300D. RIP. Peter
Frederick was spot on (as he usually
is, btw) with his description of the A/C and heater set up on the W115... to
call that climate control is... a
stretch, implying a level of sophistication that is simply non-existent in the
W115. :) I have never used the
A/C on my car (that is what that monster sunroof is for, if you ask me) .
it has never worked. Those red and
blue control levers are standard, and the dial on the lower console with the
green is the A/C control. Thereis
also a fresh air vent lever, as Peter mentioned, in the middle of the upper
unit.
Those seats have been changed they are not original in any W115 I have
seen. As you probably know, all the
W115 300D s were automatic transmissions.

Are those even 115 seats?

In the 5th picture down, is that a normal climate control setup for
this vintage of 300D?? What's with the knobs near the stereo and the
sliders above in two separate groups---is that the factory A/C setup
with separate blowers?? I am not particularly familiar with /8s, but I
thought they came with either the Evil Chrysler ACC, or
vertical-slider manual controls like a W123 240D.
I love the jack-o'-lantern orange on this one---too bad the seats
appear to have been changed out from a saddle interior to parchment.
If it were a stick 240D rather than an automatic, though, I'd be all
over it.? Wonder if everything works includes the heater blower?

I think thats a York, it looks just like the one in Dwight's '78 240D. I'm
thinking if I buy the car I'll have to
get it working if for no other reason than to see how much it shakes the car...

No ACC in any w114/115 chassis, only manual (aftermarket) AC.
By aftermarket you mean fitted by the dealer, right?? Are these the
Behr units that are often mentioned or are there some /8s out there
with other kinds of A/C?
???if AC is fitted, there is a rotary switch on the console that switches the
air from from heat
to recirculate only AC via the dash vents, and switches from the heater fan
to the AC fan.
Aha.? So you can tell by the presence of that switch that A/C is
fitted?? Obviously the best check would be to look for a compressor
and so on under the hood, but I'm thinking about how to tell from
sellers' pictures if there isn't a good one of the engine.? In the CL
ad I originally posted, however, methinks in the pic of the engine I
see a compressor at the bottom left---at least it has two thick lines
coming off and one has a service port on it.? Is that one of the
famously long-lived York compressors?
