This Mercedes-Benz 300SD is powered by a 2,998cc SOHC inline 5-cylinder Diesel engine fitted with a Bosch Mechanical fuel injection system and a single turbocharger. It produces 120 horsepower at 4,350 RPM and there is a four-speed automatic transmission, a fully independent coil-spring suspension, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes.
Mercedes-Benz created the 300SD especially for the North American market and Motor Trend magazine named it the Import Car of the Year in 1981. The SD was the diesel variation of the S-Class series, or Sonderklasse (Special Class), also known internally as W126.
This particular Mercedes 300 SD was purchased new by Carl and Sarah Wanamaker of Townsend, Delaware, and would remain in their care for nearly four decades. The current custodian acquired it in 2022. Currently, the car has less than 36,000 miles on the odometer. The car wears its factory color scheme of Orient Red (DB 501U) paint over beautiful Palomino (254) leather.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2022
