3800 at 80mph in a 3.07 with stock wheels sounds pretty close, the tach might be off a bit. I usually run around 3400 at 75mph in our '82 300SD's.
My 420sel with a 2.47 diff is about 2950rpm at 80....so 3700ish is about right for a 3.07.
The 85's have a 2.88 differential which does drop a few hundred rpm off and helps a bit.
