Talking New Addition to the Family Check it out now!!

This is my new addition to the family. 1985 Mercedes Benz 300d Turbo Diesel. Now the car has 160,000 but its not bad, the only rust is on the back fender mount, "not on the body." not bad, new exhaust pipe, injectors, filter, and it purrs. It is way way faster than my 83, mabey because everything is original and needs some new parts. Well tell me what you think, she may look black in the picture but it is 100% Dark gray, blackish. beautiful car, i fell in love with it.

VERY nice looking. It looks like the color is "Blau/schwartz" (blue/black) or Pearl Black. Mine is that color. Hard to keep clean, but nice looking.

Looks like it has an appreciative and worthy keeper. Enjoy!

Db 199

Check the ID plate on the cross body support just in front of the radiator. 199 is Black Pearl.

Anthracite was available in 1985 but I am not sure about Black Pearl..

Check your numbers and let us all know.

Great color ... as I'm a bit biased.

Yeah my interior is anthracite, I like it. It hides dirt because its dark, but its not black. Its sort of a gray black.
