Hi,
Just wanted to put up some pics of my 85 w123 300D. 232k miles, like new, except non functioning tach, ACC, cruise and power antenna. No blowby, no oil leaks, good trans, etc. Happy so far!!! Lots of fun to be had now!!! JMH

Wow. Even has a MB battery.
My '85s tach is broken too. The '85s system is different from other years, I have not had any luck diagnosing it so far.

Congratulations. I do have the same ext color in an 85, my interior is the middle red MB Tex.
If it keeps raining up there you could pitch a tent on the roof for shelter.... AA ..

Nice! I hope I can find one that clean sometime....ours is pretty close but it has a little bit of rear end damage from an SUV (minor though.) However, that silver color looks awesome! Good find!

looks like that IP has been replaced or maybe the ALDA or just the hose to the ALDA?
stock '85 setup has the line going to the blue vac amp on the driver fender

"It's green"
Why is the primary fuel filter green? Is it just color error in the image or....?

yes it is an image error in downgrading the image. It is a yellow color from the fuel.
