My first diesel Benz was a 300CD. It was a 78, no turbo... But it was that color red with a black interior. As much as I regret letting that car go (it was beat to hell but I LOVED it) My real regret is that this one is in CA. I'd pick it up in a heartbeat if it were closer.

@Rollguy - Brother, I wish I could! I'm looking for my first diesel MB, but the buyer on my truck fell through so I'm back to dreaming!

Anyone?

Still for sale, and the first post has one photo. I can send you other photos if you would like.

More pictures would be great.

ANOTHER RED 300CD F.S. !
 

If anyone wants , is my 1980 in Oriental Red , it's a darker red than Rich's .

Palomino interior .

Working AC , rebuilt tranny , new ball joints , new shaded windshield & German grommets , new paint , custom made all metal radiator , high output alternator blah blah blah...

Over $7,000 invested , who cares ? .

Ca. tags & title in my name , drive it anywhere .

$1,500 before I donate it to charity .

Palomino interior in 1980? Are you sure?

Anyway, sounds like a great price. If you want to hijack this thread, I will allow you to do so only if you provide a photo of the car (I may be interested)....Rich

Flip It !
 

Yep ;

Most early Coupes have the FUGLY tobacco brown interior .

The interior is original & tired .

Original blue & yellow license plates ! .

Dash has cracks .

Come to Monrovia and look at it , drive it away , clean it up and make a killing to one of your customers ~ I'm out of The Auto Trade so I just want it gone . I have my beloved Pastel Beige turbo Coupe now so I'm good to go for life .

Beautiful car Rich. I am interested in buying one like yours. Is your still available? How has it been with biodiesel? I have a military Chevy Blazer I have just started running on biodiesel and so far so good.
