Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present 1977
Mercedes-Benz 240D. This four-door sedan represents the early years
of Mercedes-Benz's W123 generation, a model line that became known
for its straightforward engineering, solid construction, and
understated styling. The W123 arrived in the United States for the
1977 model year, making this 240D part of the very first generation
sold here.
Finished in clean condition Caledonia Green, this 240D carries the
classic appearance that made these Mercedes-Benz sedans such
recognizable cars of their era. Under the hood is the 2.4L diesel
engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The 240D was the
only W123 offered in the U.S. with a 4-speed manual, making the
combination a particularly interesting part of this car's
character.
Power steering and power brakes add to the driving experience,
while air conditioning provides additional comfort. The A/C is
present but is not currently blowing cold, a detail worth noting
for anyone considering the car.
The W123 was introduced as Mercedes-Benz's new mid-size sedan
platform and quickly became an important part of the company's
lineup. The 240D combined Mercedes-Benz's traditional approach to
build quality with a naturally aspirated diesel engine and, in this
case, a manual transmission that puts the driver directly in
control.
With its four-door configuration, 2.4L diesel engine, 4-speed
manual transmission, power steering, power brakes, and classic
Mercedes-Benz styling, this 1977 240D offers an opportunity to
experience an early example of one of the marque's most
recognizable sedan platforms.
1977 Mercedes-Benz 240D is listed by our Houston Showroom and can
