Overview of 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300D For Sale by Owner

Renowned for its legendary durability and timeless engineering, the 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300D remains one of the most respected diesel sedans ever produced. Showing 78,638 miles, this W123 combines Mercedes-Benz's uncompromising build quality with the reliability of the naturally aspirated OM617 diesel engine. Finished in a white vinyl wrap over its original Manganese Brown Metallic exterior, this classic sedan offers vintage European luxury, exceptional longevity, and the refined driving experience that helped establish Mercedes-Benz as the benchmark for executive automobiles.

Exterior and Interior

The factory Manganese Brown Metallic finish is protected beneath a clean white vinyl wrap, giving the car a distinctive appearance while preserving its original paint. The W123's elegant, understated styling has become an icon of Mercedes-Benz design, featuring crisp body lines, chrome accents, and the unmistakable upright grille topped with the Three-Pointed Star. Factory 14-inch Mercedes-Benz Bundt alloy wheels complete the classic look, while the solid construction and timeless proportions continue to make the W123 one of the most recognizable luxury sedans ever built. Inside, the Palomino interior showcases Mercedes-Benz's reputation for quality craftsmanship and ergonomic simplicity. Rich Zebrano wood trim complements the cabin, while power windows, power steering, and automatic climate control provide comfort and convenience. The original Becker AM/FM stereo remains in place, preserving the authentic character of this well-kept classic.

Engine

Power comes from Mercedes-Benz's legendary 3.0L naturally aspirated inline-five diesel, equipped with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Celebrated for its remarkable longevity and smooth operation, the OM617 diesel has earned a reputation as one of the most durable passenger car engines ever produced. Its mechanical simplicity, dependable engineering, and effortless highway cruising make this 300D an excellent example of the overbuilt philosophy that defined Mercedes-Benz during the W123 era.
