Does the 5 banger diesel come in a rag top?

I have a 300sd and love it. I was thinking if that engine ever came in a rag top - the perfect car.

There are a few 300CD's that have had the tops cut and have been converted into convertables. They are sometimes on ebay...

as 123c said.. there was never a facotry convertible, but the work was done at one of several places that specialize in converting cars into convertible. They show on ebay from time to time... but I believe the diesel 123c is rare as a convertible.

I believe the going price for the last diesel W123 convertable conversion on ebay went for over $30,000, but on thing to keep in mind is that there might be some structual integraty compromised by removing the top, since these cars were never designed to be a convertable...

Replace the SD metal sunroof with a folding canvas sunroof like on 50s VWs and be halfway there. I considered it for the windfall SD I got with the big dent on the roof.

Webasto and Street-something out of AZ offer kits. Do a web search on 'folding canvas sunroof'
