Hi. I just picked up a nice 82 300D Euro with only 102,000 miles. It has US headlights but euro bumpers and the manual windows and sunroof and climate, and cheesy speedo with only mph and the triangle in trunk.

It also has a different IP which i thought was weird. The ip has the splined nuts on the bottom of the lines on the ip. What is different about these euro ips? Any advantage ? Better mpg maybe?

I really like this car and may keep it and sell my 85 300DT US model. I wish it was a stick shift but its an auto. Shifts perfect though. Are there any other differences in powertrain besides no turbo and the ip?

One problem is it was hit in rear. The bumper is smashed in a bit and trunk leak water. other than that, great shape.

Thanks for any pointers about this car.
