nice looking SD

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220387546670

A set of Euro headlights and tail lights would finish this one nicely.

I saw a W126 that color with a green interior in the junk yard once. It was a striking car. Shame it was rusted out.

My Texas born and bred '83 300SD's engine compartment looked many times better than that one's.......and mine had 305K miles when I sold it at 16 years of age. Mine had the same style of leather seating area. Overall, that SD was the best car I've ever owned.

Is that a Euro front bumper? The plate cutout looks way bigger than mine.

I used to think my favorite would be black on black.....but I think that color green is now tied with black.

Not that I'd ever be able to find a nice green one like that.

Thanks for the lightning response!!!

Guess I have the Euro's.

Never paid that much attention, and thought the difference was square v. round.

Did any SD's come with round, or was that only on the D's?

p.s. the driveway and street look like they've had their share of old benz's parked on them. I currently park over an old sheet of plywood, until I replace my seeping oil cooler lines.
