looks more like a 1984 Turbodiesel.. What an idiot.. 77 was still the W115 IIRC

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but '77 was the first year of the W123 diesel over here.....
I have one out front. I believe mine is very early, as the oil filter is bottom left, same as a W115 I believe.....

You may have one......but is it a turbo?

77 was the 123, I've got one. However, it is clearly not a 77 since it has the newer monovalve climate control with the horizontal buttons instead of the vertical buttons and dreaded ACC servo.

I thought wrong :D. yea.. 76 was the last year... I wish I had a 77 turbodiesel

I just Talked to the guy.....completely clueless. Insists it is a 77 but since it says "turbo diesel" on the trunk, it must be a turbo:silly:

First 617 turbo was in the 116 SD. 1979 I believe.

maybe replated??????

Has to be since I know the 80 SD has a 617T. The W123 didnt get a turbo in the sedan until what.. 83? or 82

Also if it was the nicest on ebay it wouldn't have a severly cracked dash

It's a turbo. You can see the u shaped connector between the air cleaner and the turbo. The NA is not set up that way. It's just not a 1977. Anyone run a carfax on the vin to see what's going on.
Also, 77's had steel wheels with painted wheel covers.

stolen?

Nope. Ram air and pedals.....:D :D

Actually it is chain and tractor now! :(

s^6t its an hour from me.. I should go buy it.. I have 100$... Looks like a good parts car at least. Im watching this sucker.. If the bidding doesnt move for 6 days im jumping on it...

carfax shows the # he listed as incorrect
