My neighbor has a 1980 300TD (wagon of course) that seems to be very unique in many ways. It is the goldish brown color (not that unique)
and the henna red (I think that is what it is called) LEATHER interior with the third row seat. The most unique thing I have found about this car is the injection pump and transmission. It seems to have the injection pump that came on the later cars with an aluminum head (like a 190D 2.5).
It has the same trans that an '81 SD would have (722.3XX?) with the electronic speedo and bowden cable:
I have never seen this injection pump in any iron head engine, nor have I seen this trans in this early of a car. Is this a weird combination, or is this common for this year and model car?
