300D maunal?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1981-Mercedes-Benz-300D-Diesel-300-D-Manual-Low-miles_W0QQitemZ120545662657QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item1c1114d6c1
interesting combination. This had to have been either an import or modification. I wonder if this is a euro model?

Cloth seats too. I know that place...they're sort of like an auto repair plaza, there's a glass place, Maaco, wheel/tire, etc. I wouldn't touch it.

Definately a federalized Euro import unless someone went to a hell of a lot of trouble sourcing and swapping in an entire Euro interior.

Mileage looks fishy to me but I guess if it's from Maryland it "might" be genuine.

The trip meter is at 000 even though the car has half a tank. Also look at the pics USA tail on the driver side, but Euro taillight on the passenger side.... sounds to me like it's been in a "fender bender".
Just my $0.02

That is a Euro model, and also notice that it does NOT have air conditioning. Never did.....
