This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300SD is finished in metallic blue over blue MB-Tex and is powered by a 3.0-liter OM617 turbodiesel inline-five paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes 14″ alloy wheels, a sunroof, power windows, automatic climate control, and a Becker Europa II stereo.
The car is finished in Gray Blue Metallic (906) with a dark blue pinstripe as well as polished belt-line and window trim. Equipment includes a sliding steel sunroof, dual side mirrors, and US-market bumpers and lighting. The hood star was replaced in 2020.
Factory 14″ Bundt alloy wheels wear Michelin Defender tires measuring 195/70 that show 2018 and 2019 date codes. A matching spare wheel and tire are located in the trunk.
The cabin features front bucket and rear bench seats upholstered in Blue MB-Tex (102) as well as a color-matched dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include wood trim, power windows, automatic climate control, and a Becker Europa II AM/FM stereo. The air conditioning system was serviced in May 2020.
A four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 125-mph speedometer flanked by a tachometer, a clock, and ancillary gauges. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 99k miles.
The 3.0-liter OM617 turbodiesel inline-five received an oil and filter change in preparation for the sale. March 2019 service included replacement of the voltage regulator and valve cover gasket, as well as the repair of an oil leak at the turbo wastegate hose.
Power is sent to the wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
