1987 300D Turbo, OM603.960, 124.133, Light Ivory with Palomino interior, 204k miles with all paperwork from day 1.

1987 300D Turbo, OM603.960, 124.133, Pearl Gray Metallic with Black interior, 186k miles with leak at IP and euro headlights :o

603.960 - 1987 300D - MFG date: 12/86 - Desert Taupe / lt. tan/cream int. - 240K . 1st private owner, ex-lease car. Still looks and drives as new! :)

603.961. 1986 300SDL 169K -Black exterior with Palomino interior :bulb:

'86 300SDL 603.961 @ 241,663 Arctic Blue/Lt Grey Ground Effects with Blue interior.

See signature. :D

BTW - what exactly do you have in your exhaust now? One muffler or two? Was there any power difference compared to stock, and how does it sound? I've been wanting to remove the catalyst and center muffler, and just have the rear muffler...

'86 300SDL. Still being restored and had never driven it.

It's got 312k on it and the body is in great shape, the interior however is a little worn.

I bought a complete replacement carpet set from World Upholstry, front and rear seats and door panels from a '91 560SEL, Bosch euro lights with wipers and motors, and I've rebuilt the transmission.

Now I just have to get that engine rebuilt! :uneasy: :whip:

OhioSDL,

And grouping by ENGINE, you know that big heavy thing under the hood that converts heat energy to mechanical energy, would be even better.

'87 300 SDL, 167k miles mint condition, maroon in and out, and of course a six-zero-three engine.

1987 300D 204K. blue/blue, added Euro 500E headlights w/ vacuum adjust, boost gauge, leather seats. Removed ERG and controls, airbox. Use Amsoil lubricants. Get 30 mpg w/o oil use. Fixed almost everything, looks and runs like new. Hope I haven't jinxed myself with this post.

My sig pretty much says it all, but the mileage is up to 242,500. I really like the 603 it sounds very nice over 4k rpm.

87 300D 603.960, 211,000 miles and counting. Uses less than a quart of oil on 6000 mile change intervals (Mobil 1 or Delvac 1). Has Euro (DEPO) headlights after an encounter with a deer last winter.

My brother has an 86 SDL, something like 200,000 miles on it. No oil consumption between changes, just ate an alternator and battery (checking on the glow plug relay to make sure it's not staying on).
