It is in storage now. There is a old MCI bus setting in front of the car. At least it is inside. The car needs the tranny look at. I am the 3 rd care giver of the car.@@ShervinsGarage
Texas sun. The car has horrible sun fade after a lifetime outside. If you leave ANY car in the Texas sun for a few years, it will destroy the interior; let alone 50 years. There's no way the car has that many miles with documented service records until the late 1990s as well as all factory belts, hoses, thermostat, brake lines, and more.
@@DraculasCars There definitely were cars made in '78, but not nearly as many as in '79 or '80. It's believed that the first car was produced in February 1978.
Hello Sir, I visited your RUclips channel. Your RUclips video content is amazing. But Your RUclips channel subscribers and viewers are not increasing because your RUclips videos are not using quality full video tags or keywords. SEO score on your RUclips videos is also not good.

If you want I can solve your RUclips video problems and help grow your channel. If you are free I can talk with you on Google meet or zoom about your RUclips channel. Thank You Saif
Thank you for the offer, but I'm not overly concerned with monetization. I make these videos to share cars I find interesting and to highlight the things that led me to buy them in the first place. I'm ecstatic that others find them and enjoy them, but it's a hobby; not a for-profit enterprise.
![[Review] 1979 Mercedes 300SD (W116)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yKz4U9vYtAA/mqdefault.jpg)
My early 78 300SD has 733,000 miles. Great car change oil every 2500 miles. They can go for ever.
The first priority is getting the worn-out rubber replaced, then whatever else is needed to make it roadworthy.
No way. Please upload a video of it! I need to see this car.

very nice 78 300sd turbo diesel when I was real young my father had a 79 300sd turbo diesel but in silver color with black leather
Nice car drac. Where I’m from the rust gets them more than anything
I've never seen a 116 that was this solid before. Getting her back to daily driver status has been straightforward, but tedious.
Nice! That interior color and style is great. Whatever happened to your Dodge Monacos?
I sold off most of what I had when I moved to Texas; including the pair of Monacos and the AMC Ambassador.
@@DraculasCars Oh. I guess I haven't checked this channel in a long while... 😅
Those were my favorites.
All I've got left for Chrysler products are the '66 Imperial and '82 Imperial.
@@DraculasCars do you still have the 6.9?
Traded it on this car; but, will have the first option to buy it back if the new owner sells.
Only important people had those in 78’ I remember…
Love the W116, the brake pedal shows that the car has over 300,000 miles.
There is no way the seats would be in that condition with only 87,000 miles

This is the 942nd 300SD ever made. Very early!
I had no idea when I got it; only that there are not a lot of '78s kicking around. I've had people tell me there weren't any built in '78 as well.
