W123 300d turbo from 09/'84 is that an '85??
I'm looking to go check one out, but I want to be sure it has the '85 rear ratio setup. I'm only buying the vehicle for the drivetrain, that's why...
Any input much appreciated |

More likely it says "307 963 2, in which case it is a 3.07 differential.

And if it has a 3.07 in it, it's most likely an '84. My car is an '82, but shows a mfg date of 10/81. However, it has the factory om617.952 in it. The .952 was new in '82 for the sedan and coupe.
It could also be that some one swapped a 3.07 in to replace the 2.88.

Matthew,
I think that date you refer to is the date that the car left the production line. It could take a while to be shipped & then it may have sat at the dealer for a while before some one purchased it and it was registered. In Australia, you can sometimes find a brand new car still not sold by the middle of the following year.

however, now that I look at my maintenance manual, it was delivered 5 oct 1984 in Sindelfingen. It received it's 1k service in Kundenienst on 20 Oct. the russian site must have the date wrong. |

My SD is a 10/84 build and an '85 MY.

The Russian site uses commonly used European d/m/y format as opposed to the North American m/d/y format, that's why the 10 and 5 are switched out.

^ Correct. Delivery date 05.10.84 = 05-OCT-84 which officially makes your 300D a 1985 MY, Matt.
(Typically, the last quarter of the current calendar is the start of the 1st Q of the succeeding year.)
