- Owner Reports Took 8 Years to Finalize Restoration
The legendary Mercedes-Benz W123 series was made between 1975 and 1986. In fact, nearly 2.7 million examples found grateful owners in countless countries across the globe. Even today, one can easily find W123s running in certain countries, doing taxi or family transportation duties in a reliable and dependable manner. The W123 was made in sedan, estate, coupe and limousine forms. This particular 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is a coupe, and it’s fresh from a restoration that took eight years to finalize, as reported by the current owner. We’re told that everything was sourced from Germany, and that the only thing that remains to be addressed is the air conditioning. So, even though this car has traveled over 95,000 miles, it’s just been given a new lease of life, and you could be its lucky owner.
Exterior and Interior
We’re told that this newly-repainted 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD has received new rubber components and new seals everywhere. Hence, you can consider it to be nearly factory fresh, in all its glory. The black paint brings out the timeless Bruno Sacco and Friedrich Geiger-penned styling that still looks fresh in 2024. Speaking of fresh, the car rides on fresh rubber courtesy of new tires, and we’re told that it’s also got new moldings and new chromework everywhere. Clearly, no expense was spared with restoring this classic Teutonic machine. The tan interior of this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is, you guessed it, a new OEM interior as we’ve been told. Able to swallow up four adults with ease, you’ll definitely enjoy the unparalleled comfort of those plush, leather-upholstered seats. Then, you have the classic-styled Mercedes-Benz analog gauge cluster, and center stack with a period-correct Becker Europa radio cassette player. Remember that the air conditioning isn’t functional yet, but that’s likely all you’ll have to do when you buy this car.
Engine
Packing a sturdy 3.0L in-line five-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is a gentle cruiser that can keep going for hours and hours.
