My ol'girl was in the family, my parents, since she was 3miles old.
I bought her two years ago with 76K miles and she just turned 100K. I slowly have gotten her to look like new, my mechanic says she's got the cleanest engine he's ever seen!

1985 300D turbo, anthricite w/tan MBtex. Tustin, Ca.

So California. '84 300D. Bought it @ 81M Just turned 375M today!! Yeah. Original engine, original trans. original timing chain (On borrowed time!) original injectors. New timing chain and tensioner, sprocket gears and injectors next week. Survived 1 suicide deer. Trans seals leak a little. Rear end clunks a little from the MB trans kick. On 4th or 5th Battery. 2nd starter 2nd alternator. Dash has only a 3/8" crack. Maybe good for another 100K?
