603.960 E300 D Turbo Sedan 124 133 1987 140K biege with tan interior. In the process of going thru it such as hoses, belt, water pump, vac pump, etc. The more I work on this car, the more I like it but it did look very formidable at first. Its actually the fastest car I have ever owned in many years of driving. O.

If everyone with a 3.0L motor (1986/87 300D/TD/SDL) could go check out this "head crack" poll, that would be awesome - would be nice to get as many results as possible:

Make sure you have the vac pump with the 4 screws on the cover. If not replace it or you could trash the engine.

Nice car though sub 100k rust free southern car. :cool:
