'86 SDL, '81 SD, '87 SDL (for sale)

My favorite, an '86:
302K miles on the clock (207K of 'em are mine),
New cylinder head some years ago, just replaced the
head gasket (perforated in front of # 1 cyl).

BUT I am not getting the turbo boost I should,
less than 5psi. WHAT is going on?

Otherwise, good mileage, 22-24 mpg, typically
over 450 miles per tank.

I also have an '81 SD (the "beater benz") and a
top-down rusted out California beach '87 SDL,
runs strong, but I gotta sell. Anybody want a
good used engine and tranny? I give you the
chassis to carry 'em around in til you need 'em!
(you want ugly? see pix)

Cheers,
Richard

I'm the second owner. Currently hibernating in Mom's garage. Going home for T-giving and taking Th' Beast on a short 1K mile road trip while I'm there

I believe each of these cars are the final production year for that model.

300sdl,1987

Cabernet Red Metallic with Creme Beige Interior. Original owner. How can you sell a car that's built like a tank and gets 25 mpg in the city/suburbs. About 145,000 miles. One door ding.

1986 300SDL, Champagne (gold) like the one 2 posts above, with Brown interior. FWIW, it too has the rare power rear seat. Bought from original owner about 2 months ago. 68K miles. #14 head.

The only love I've had a chance to give it so far is an oil change (top sided it), 2 new tires, polish, and other minor stuff. Tomorrow I will finish putting in the aftermarket stereo. I have new 4 new speakers and an amp too but I might wait until winter or spring to do the amp.

It's my dad's but I'll speak for him. It's a 1987 300SDL with the smoke silver exterior and burgundy interior. Gorgeous car. Beefed up cylinder head, rebuilt transmission, new turbo, in short, it's basically a new car. No trap oxidizer, either. Though it's not without its problems, it has far less than the vast majority of cars that are the same age.
