Unreal 110K on an 85 300D in N Texas for under $3000!

straight body! no visible rust (might be some though) and seats look new to make me believe the speedometer reading is accurate!

hood scoops on 99 300D turbo in Flower Mound TX

while surfing the Net tonite I saw something I've never seen before on a 210 chassis diesel
Interesting hood scoops, wonder where they came up with them?

too bad its not a running vehicle..

addemdum: seller replied to email and said they have no knowledge of the car at all, they bought it that way and its not driveable

I’ve never seen seats like that in a w123. Is that normal? Also why is the 300d trunk badge all the way on the right side ??

The 300D badge is not supposed to be there. Between that, the ridiculously big tires, and the (what look to be) W124 seats, I'd be wary of buying this. Seems like a pig with lipstick.

Hmmmm!
I don't know if the trunk legend is not OE but a closer look at the switch panel above the climate control panel seems like too few switches for an 85 123 car!
If it smells like a rat its gotta be a rat!

Had no idea W202 seats could bolt into a W123.

Hm ;

Front seats replaced, steering wheel replaced, console wood all broken not sure why you think this is a low miler.....

Looks like most 350,000 + milers in Los Angeles .
