[MBZ] Selling my 67 Diesel Fintail

I've decided to sell my 67 200D. You can see the listing at: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/170717541131?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1413 Pictures at: https://picasaweb.google.com/112041357579669403334/Rolf67200D and https://picasaweb.google.com/112041357579669

[MBZ] 74 - 450SL

I bought a 450SL today. (Pictures at: https://picasaweb.google.com/hamibob/Mercedes450SL) It's in decent shape - only paid $2500 so I shouldn't lose anything on it. It runs nicely - nice growl to it. It needs a bit of body work but way less than the 67 200D. Here's how I wound up with it:

Re: [MBZ] Instrument cluster for 67 200D

Thanks for the comments. I had thought I would wire around it - I had checked the fuse and had replaced all the bulbs. Now I have a confession - I decided that since I didn't really know how many miles were on the car, I would turn the speedometer back to 0. I had done it successfully whe

[MBZ] Instrument cluster for 67 200D

I can't seem to get my instrument cluster to behave properly. I think the problem is the dimmer switch - the dash lights don't work. The speedometer isn't working either. So I'm wondering if anyone might have a parts car with an instrument cluster in it?Pictures of the car are at: http:

[MBZ] 115 Turn signal?

I was struggling with getting one of my signal lights working as well. I have a 67 200D (pictures at: http://picasaweb.google.ca/hamibob/Rolf67200D# ) I also changed the bulbs and assumed that the new bulb was making good contact. I finally discovered the bulb wasn't making a good connection

Re: [MBZ] [db] Rolf the 200D/51 Willys

That is my 51 Willys - I had to pull it out of the way to get the 200D out of the workshop so it oversaw the pictures. I've had it since 1980. Now, you've seen my two restorations. There are a few more pictures of the Willys at: http://picasaweb.google.ca/hamibob/WillysTruck# Also, I think

[MBZ] Turn signal help

I thought I would start a new email for this one. I think this is the only thing that I need to get fixed in order for the 200D to pass an inspection. Here's what is happening. 1. The turn signal on the left (driver) side is working fine and normal both front and rear. 2. The ha

[MBZ] Rolf the 200D

Yes, the car is named Rolf after the original owner. His name was Rolf Seidel and he bought the car on Feb 8, 1968 for $5,665. He traded in a 1967 Volvo. I have the original Bill of Sale. He passed away a few years ago and I bought the car from his daughter. I checked with her and she was O

[MBZ] 67 200D wheels and extreme mods

There's a story to the wheels. The previous (original owner) had taken the original wheels off and put on 14" steel wheels. I got one of the original wheels and since he had passed on his daughter didn't know where the others were. I did get 4 original hubcaps. I thought of welding on little

After 4 years, I have the 200D pretty much finished. There are pictures and even a video with audio at: http://picasaweb.google.ca/hamibob/Rolf67200D# I think it looks pretty good. I've done all the body work and painting myself - learned lots and had patience to get it done. I drove it yest

[MBZ] 84 300D vacuum problems

had the same problem and found that it was because one of the vacuum tubes had come out of a "Y". The most tangible test for no leaks is the door locks, especially how long they continue to work after the car is shut down.. Bob (sold my 300d still have the 67 200D) Bob Ha

repair. Most states have a consumer affairs type office that performs a function similar to us - I don't know them well but that might be an avenue to explore. And I am progressing quite nicely in the restoration of my 67 200D (pictures at bottom link below). . Bob Bob Hamilton

Re: [MBZ] 1967 200D labor of love

anels you cut out - did you use anything like POR in there before closing it up? Did you run complete beads around the replacement panels, or leave them tacked in place, and sealed them with body filler? Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2007 From: Bob Hamilton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: Re: [MBZ] 1967 2

[MBZ] 1967 200D labor of love
