1985 Mercedes-Benz 300CD Turbo Diesel

Description

This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is a wish list kind of car when you're looking for a premium vintage cruiser classic. It's coming off 27 years of long-term ownership, and we're told it had only one previous owner before that. So you are going to see quite a nice level of care and preservation on this coupe. Even the shining silver paint is believed to be the factory application. And we love the look of the clean lines on this rarely-see hardtop coupe. Good care means the blue interior continues to look stylish, the transmission shifts smoothly all the way into overdrive, and the full independent suspension has the right athletic yet supple feel. And of course, the turbodiesel powerhouse is sought-after around for being one of the most steadfast hearts to ever hit the road. So take some extra time looking into this classic Mercedes hardtop that continues to be both practical and impressive.

This is a very cool classic to find. It was the final year of the Mercedes W123, and so it means the classic design has the best evolution of the series. That's why you can spot little differences, like the later Becker radio. Plus, the turbocharger on the diesel really awakened the hardy powerhouse on these later and premium coupes. So to have such a well-preserved car coming from long-term care tells you that this is the kind of special car you may never have the opportunity at again. Call today!!!
