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, 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.
