What you can't have!!!
Another cool example of what was not available in the US. I can figure out its a 1985 300SD with manual it what appears to be very good condition.
 Love how the burl wood standard and available only on our 500 series w126 is standard and/or available on all w126 in Europe.AND THEN...someone in Germany is selling a US Version IN Germany

That 300SD over in Germany is a conversion job, a gasser to diesel deal. It has a normally aspirated OM617 diesel engine whereas the REAL 300SDs had the turbocharged 617s, and were for the U.S only. Still, a W126 diesel with a manual transmission would be quite nice.

Japan, really? They must have been "gray market" or something. W116 and W126 300SDs were for the United States and Canadian markets ONLY. Being shipped there from the U.S to Japan is the only way they could have gotten there.
