Need a shop manual for a 80 300sd

Just bought a 300sd and plan to restore to it's orignal glory. It drives like a cloud and would like to see if the 160mph is obtainable.
Changing over to wvo with a 32 gal. boat tank. Hope to make a 1000m trip non stop to Atlanta soon.
With a shop manual on board I would feel a lot better.

It won't even do 160 mph if dropped FROM A CLOUD....
I think terminal velocity is about 125 mph... if dropped from altitude....due to air resistance...

LOL

I'll second that....only way to get that will see anything near 160mph ground speed is to put it in a cargo plane.......

The C111 just MIGHT have been a little more aerodynamic...
and MIGHT have had more gears available...
LOL

I have several

I have a couple of the W116 300sd shop manuals including the rare supplemental manual I would hate to part with them but I need the cash to buy both a w126 and a w116 and I am little short of cash to buy both. PM me
