Nice 300 SDL! Long daddy! I saw a nice 420 SDL the other day. Are these common? What is the diff btw 300 and 420 SDL???

------------------------------------------------------------
There are some cosmo diff's - major would be engine size. Never had the opportunity to get up close and friendly with a 420

There is no 420 SLD, only a 420 SEL. There is both a 300 SDL and SEL. The difference between a 420SEL and a 300SDL is that the 420 is a 4.2L v-8 gas and the 300SDL is a 3L inline-6 diesel.

Maybe the guy messed with the badge!
I read 420 SDL but I would not doubt that it is not authentic.

Car looked nice.

Mine is a 1987 560 sec Looks exactly like his 1990 560 sec. I just had a new motor put in mine . I have been thinking of replacing the burlwood? with the carbon fiber look. What do you all think? Mark

no pics yet... but it looks like jfsehl's sel. Same color, same great shape, except for stock alloy rims like on the old diesels, such as a 300sdl.

TX76513, what kind of rims are those? I might have to give up my idea for my American Racing wheels (see this post: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?threadid=65244&highlight=american+racing )

Thanks,

Stock wheels - just shinney good ole Turtle Wax chrome cleaner.
Something that you cannot see the L side has silver MB logo and the R side has gold MB logo's in center caps, and I don't know why - the previous owner took that secret to the grave with him.

My 126 has Euros now...might as well show them off

fintail;
Beautiful color i love it and the euros add a new modern look

It's DB355 by the way....'diamond blue'. I have seen very few in the same color.

I love how the lights look. I am sometimes mixed about the corners...I need to look for smoked ones rather than ones that are so 'white', maybe. But thy do look a lot more modern than stock ones.

Here's a shot of the stock lights. I really notice how the plastic frame parts were aged. What an improvement

I almost bought an SDL that same color a few years back. Sweeet color!
