300CD Roll Call
I noticed that the 240D owners have their own roll call, so I thought I would start one for us 300CD owners.
1979 300CD, Milan Brown Metallic Clearcoat

I got one... was initially ready to buy just about any 1980 MB. Then I found the W123 Coupe and I had always wanted one ever since I saw a black 230CE (I didn't know it existed)
Big things that need fixing... sunroof, left rear quarter window, and some rust. My friend took the picture a while ago while we were rolling in traffic on Rt.9 going back to Boston. She actually took a decent shot I thought it was going to be blurry or something. I guess those disposable cameras aren't bad afterall.  it's an Anthracite Gray '83 300CD-T

Mine. My wife's. Depends upon who you ask. '83, in perfect condition except for a spot of bad clearcoat on the hood. Gotta get it fixed. Hope the picture attaches.

Aw, I didn't see this thread. I don't have a picture of my 'new' CD, but here's a pic of my old one. Both are 1985's, CA versions. Past one was Nautical Blue/Parchment, new one is Astral Silver/Black.

Oh, I did find a few pictures. This was taken just after I rescued it from the PO. I posted this pic in another thread. The wheels are black because the chrome came off the wheels and the break dust is embedded in the metal. I had to trash them and got 4 others. Also check out the TD muffler. Looks much better now.

Finally a beautiful day to end the weekend. It rained for three straight days and I didn't drive my car at all just sitting in the garage (I washed it the day before it rained!!
 )I thought with all that sun the pics would come out great... I guess my photography skills suck    I'm guessing that the pics wouldn't be so washed out if I had taken them later during the day. However I didn't have time and headed for a drive! Everytime I drive it, it brings a smile to my face  When I do I always forget what some people say "Sell that old car and get a new one.."I went to a mall filled with Mercedes, BMW, Audis, etc. and ONE Bentley Red Label! I thought the diesel looking all clean and stuff presented itself rather well

'83 Astral Blue Coupe...
Featured in current Mercedes Enthusiast article on "American" diesels. Pretty car bought in Texas from a less than forthright former owner, the car has required over $4k to get it street legal...but is rust free, different, and now should go another 10 years w/o any more major attention. Day photos shot for article was hot the way only Washington can be in summer, and couldn't take chance engine would start again if shut off, so ran for five hours. Differences from my trusty 240 include "slow" windows/sunroof and of course the barn-size doors.
Holson...I LOVE the anthracite on yours, and on MBs in general. A lawyer fellow here in DC had a '65 VW done over in flawless anthracite...maybe the classiest example of a "reverse" status symbol I've ever seen.
