I don't live to far from Merced, if anyone (out of area) wants me to take a
look at this van it's about 30 miles from where I'm at.

> '72 Mercedes 306D 9 passenger Bus/Van. Daily driver very dependable, good
fuel mileage (26-35mpg, depending on driving habits). Bought from original
owner/family. This is a very rare vehicle and has been shown in several MB
car shows locally and gets all the attention it deserves - a very unique and
unusual vehicle.
>
> Exterior body is in very good condition no dents, no cancer though there
is some very small spots of surface rust- vehicle has been repainted some
time ago but is original color (white). Brand new tires all around. All dash
functions work, also comes with original copy of owner's manual in mint
condition.
>
> Powerplant is the 220D 4 cyl Diesel, many other parts are shared with VW
and similar German Van/Buses, definitely a practical classic - Think UniMog
lite! Top speed 70 mph, no more and certainly less, this baby is geared LOW!
Transmission is a 4 speed and is front wheel drive.

> Engine is strong, clutch is original and will need service before too
long, brakes are good, though one rear wheel cylinder is seeping and will
need tending to soon. Interior is great except for the seats which have some
tears and minor fraying in spots, headliner is intact but shows some wear.
Speedo (in kilometers) is not working, but odometer is, and currently reads
09398 KM.

> All the basic parts for this van are readily available and some spares
are included in the auction.
