603 960, 124 133 ... 1987 300D, arctic white with palomino TEX interior, has 204,000 miles on it, original engine and tranny. My dad bought it new, drove it all over the country, gave it to me last year and I love it. I'm glad to see other people are aware of their cars' "birthday," as my friends gave me a hard time for knowing mine (Dec. 8, 1986). The story with my car is that 5 or so years ago my dad took it to be repaired by the Benz dealership ... it needed a lot done (new front suspension, replace entire vacuum system) and they told him to scrap it because it was not worth it. But on the basis of posterity and sentimentality, we kept it and got all that fixed (and more) anyway. "Bodhi" is still going strong and I would not trade him in for anything. I enjoy going to buy parts at that same dealership that told us to junk the car, and backing in near their window so they can read my vanity plate, which reads "WORTHIT."

I'm pretty new to the car and the forum but here goes:

1987 300 SDL 603.961, automatic, 220 + , 2 previous owners, papers up to 190,00. A very clean and solid car. Black ext. Gray int., no rust yet, everything works. Waiting for Whunter to work his magic on some hopefully minor mechanical issues.

87 300D Turbo 124.133. White on the outside, blue on the inside. Bought in April '04 for $2,500 with 224K and 65K since engine rebuild. Was owned and well maintained by an MB shop foreman in Annapolis MD. Now has 235K and has been the least expensive to maintain! Just a thermostat, belt shock, belt, fuel and air filters since taking ownership. Now has Euro lights front and rear, 20% on the windows and 17" 2002 E-Class Sport wheels. Original head? Where do you look for the #?

I think it's under the #2 intake runner stamped on the head. It's really easy to see with out the intake on, or I think if you look with a falshlight you might be able to see it.

Thanks
David
