Vehicle Description
1972 Mercedes-Benz 508D car carrier for sale! Motorcar Classics is
proud to present this awesome 1972 Mercedes 508D Custom Car
Carrier. The Mercedes-Benz T2 was a COE (cab over engine)
semi-bonneted light commercial vehicle manufactured by
Daimler-Benz. The T2 is also known as the "Dsseldorf Transporter",
since it was built in Dsseldorf from 1967 to 1986. Power is
provided by a 5.7L six-cylinder diesel motor. This truck was
originally sold locally by Syosset Truck to a cabinet finishing
craftsman in Sayville, NY, and used commercially by him through
2014. The second owner committed the truck to a total nut amp; bolt
restoration including a clipped and extended frame, custom LED
lighting in front, custom backlit Mercedes emblem on the back of
the cab, 18 custom gold zinc plated swivel tie-downs, built-in
receiver for hitch, backup camera, stereo sound system, Alcoa
wheels all around, new tires, 4-wheel air bag suspension with
on-board compressor, F450 steering and drive axles, color-matched
bedliner, and more. The restoration is fully documented with $145K
in receipts. The engine compartment and undercarriage are fully
detailed and the truck has been driven just about 150 miles since
completion. This truck is in superb condition and would be ideally
suited to showing and transporting a fine vintage automobile or
transporting a vintage race car.
