1985 Mercedes-Benz 300 CD Turbodiesel1 / 23

Description

Final-Year 300CD Turbodiesel Coupe | 92K Miles | Extensive Recent Service

Reimel Motor Cars is proud to offer this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300CD Turbodiesel, finished in Anthracite Gray Metallic over a Palomino MB-Tex interior with wood trim. Originally delivered as the selling dealer's demonstrator, this final-year C123 coupe went on to spend thirty-five garaged years with its second owner, who added fewer than 5,000 miles. Showing approximately 92,200 miles today, it remains a remarkably preserved example of one of Mercedes-Benz's most enduring designs.

Power comes from the legendary 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-five diesel paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Factory equipment includes a power sunroof, power windows, vacuum central locking, air conditioning, and cruise control. The car has been tastefully updated with period gold 15-inch BBS wheels stamped Made in W. Germany, a Klima Design Works automatic climate control conversion with a new Sanden compressor, and the original Becker radio, rebuilt by Becker with Bluetooth added.

Under its most recent ownership, the car received a comprehensive mechanical refresh. The suspension was renewed with Bilstein shocks, springs, wheel bearings, lower control arms, upper and lower ball joints, sway bar bushings and links, and front subframe mounts, along with new engine, transmission, and differential mounts. The brakes received new lines, calipers, pads, and rotors, followed by new Yokohama tires and a four-wheel alignment. The cooling system was refreshed with a Mahle radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, fan clutch, and genuine Mercedes coolant, and the fuel system received new lines, filters, and tank screen seals. The glow plugs and relay were replaced, the valves adjusted, and a new valve cover gasket installed.

The documentation is a time capsule, including the original window sticker, original invoice, warranty book, stamped dealer service book with unused service stickers, dealer hang tags, and owner's manuals. The sale also includes the original Bundt wheels, Cocomats, spare tire, tool kit, and even the factory Becker tape head cleaner.
