WTB: W123 300TD/300TDT w/ Manual Transmission

Hi,

I'm fairly new to this forum but have been lurking for a while. Figured Id make an account on here and finally ask around for a 300TD. I'm in Connecticut but I'd go as far as Virginia to find one, maybe even farther if I have to.

I'd prefer the one that came with a turbo (so anything after '81 right?) but Im open to checking out earlier models as well.

Excuse me if I sound like an idiot but I am still reading up on these cars.

Please shoot me a PM if you have one for sale or know a friend that's trying to sell one. Im looking for one that can be daily driven.

Hi and welcome to the forum. What you are looking for will be very hard to find, as Mercedes did not sell Turbo 617 engines with a manual transmission. They only sold the 4 speed trans in the 240d and non turbo 300d. A 5 speed trans is even harder to come by as they have to come from europe. All the people that do have turbo 617 / manual trans setups, have swapped it in themselves.

A perfect condition wagon, 617 turbo, manual 4 or 5 speed, with rear seats is found only in my dreams and sadly not my driveway. This is called the Unicorn. Good luck on your search.

Here's one to check into: 1980 Mercedes 300TD Turbo Diesel 4speed

Clearly not the original motor and/or trans since it's a 1980 but with what you're wanting guess that's to be expected. This is not my car nor do I know the seller.

Ah ok I understand and thanks! I guess I may have to settle for an automatic 300tdt for now.
