Did they make an 86 300d 123? Any numbers on how many?

14 of them is what I heard.

Depends entirely on what you call a 1986 model. If you mean cars assembled in 123 I would bet the numbers are in the hundreds. Mercedes sold crate delivery vehicles which could then be assembeled at the destination country. Essentially you could have a 1989 W123.

The 1986 model year for the W123 consisted entirely of wagons.

5x200T
31x230TE
14x280TE

6x240TD
4x300TD
3x300TD turbo

Good luck, you have a 63 in 2,696,915 (1:42,808) chance of finding one. Bets are they were all special order for people high up in Europe and/or Africa.

And yet its still a better chance then hitting the lotto

to all,

i'd guess it depends on WHAT you mean when you say a "1986" W123.

when i was stationed in South America ('89-'91) with USASOCOM, there were numerous UNsold 300D/300TD sedans/wagons still for sale in the capitol, that when SOLD were being "titled" as 1989/1990/1991/???? models.
(i THINK that the cars were being assembled "in country" from parts shipped in in container lots at some unknown date.)

wish i had been smart enough to buy a wagon with "manual everything", down there including a 5-speed manual trans. alas, i was NOT that smart.

That must have been "capitolism" at its finest!!!

Maybe the new administration could lease the Rotunda to Ford, GM or Chrysler.
