Advertised as a SL diesel - must be a typo! Interior looks good but no picture of engine . There is also little description of the car. Could be a good buy for somebody nearby. I hate it when they give so little info. I suppose the interested buyer would call.

What are those wheels from? Shocking!
Is there something weird going on with the center console? I couldn't tell for sure from the pic.

"1985 MERCEDES 300D DIESEL NICE GREAT RUNNING CALIF." is right in the auction

It just appears he used the wrong title on the auction....not to mention the lack of description.

The trunk has no badges on it either, weird.

The wheels are OEM 15" 15 hole flatface rims. They have the "decorative" center lug caps on them, that's why they look different. The center console looks like it has a CD holder or something in it.

Some people debadge their MBs. Frankly, I don't think it's worth it. On these older models, if you want to do it right, you have to fill in holes in the trunklid (newer models didn't have the holes) and have the whole trunklid properly painted for it to look good, and who knows how much that costs. To me, money can be better spent on mechanical things.
