Black 124 Diesel Wagon

Anyone ever seen a black 124 diesel wagon? I came across a black gasser wagon today, and it looked sweet. Too bad the front end had been chopped off.

My buddy has a 1989 black 300TE. Very sweet looking car. I keep telling him too bad it is not a diesel.

For some reason, Mercedes seems to have always sold its diesels in a limited range of colours. Well mostly, anyway.

I see w116s, w123s and w126s in off-standard colours in eBay listings and such. But here in Canada, I can assure you it's unusual to see one in OTHER the very ugliest of stock colour combos.

Yes. I test drove a 1987 black 300TD a year ago. Grey interior. Had some bad rust repair or I might have bought it.

There was a really nice on on eBay recently in Maryland, I think. I'm pretty sure it was black, though I might have it confused with another.

Just found one in Portland, OR. So they are out there.

1987 Mercedes 300TD Veggie Converted

How hard would a diesel swap into an 124 gas wagon be? I just read that they get 18mpg.
