@@woodsandbarclay I wasn't aware. I always thought the 85 models with the slight change in the gear ratio in the differential made that the year to have. The proof is in the video you just shot there.
@@mrndnjn there's nothing special about the 85 models somehow that became a big deal on the internet there's like a 2 to 400 RPM difference. The 85 models actually have more complicated vacuum systems and an EGR computer. Definitely more complicated and more stuff to go wrong.
That’s so awesome w/ the low RPM.. I own a black euro 6.9 & a petrol green 450 sel… that California model you have is truly rare and I love the color on it !! Glad you got it back bro..
Que linda.57000 milhas . Carro novo Mesmo ano da minha . Porem a minha já veio com as rodas de liga . Acho essas calotas ficam bem mais clássicas. Esse radio eu acho que é dos modelos 1979 que também são bem mais clássicos já o meu é aquele com a face toda preta. Me explique por favor essa relação de diferencial. A minha também 1980 é 3.07 . E não chega a 85 com 3000 rpm . Sei que também a caixa de cambio a relação da 4 marcha é 1 para 1 . A minha usa este mesmo hidrômetro porém 2900 rpm ela chega a aproximadamente 70 milhas
The w116 is my all-time Favorite sedan design.
Me too.
Love your enthusiasm. These babies are going up in value!
This particular year make and model is the best diesel Mercedes ever made.

Super beautiful car, John! Congratulations! So glad you got this. Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos you make on it.
I'll be releasing another one today Rob ;)
Looks wise I always leaned towards the 126, but that's changed over the last few years. I'm liking the 116 more and more.
The 116 is a superior vehicle in just about every way compared to the 126. ;)
The w116 chrome work is simply stunning.
Also nice to see it come back to you!
Дуже гарний стан автомобіля .Майже нове авто .Дуже подобаються дизеля Мерседеси тих років .Маю 126 Мерседес 3.5 дизель.
так, я згоден, що це найкращі машини у світі, схоже, у вас теж є дуже гарна. дякую за перегляд каналу.
Another great video like always you do, what is the rear diff ratio that came on the 1980 California version w116 300SD ? The 3.07 or the 2.88 ?
It's definitely not the 3.07 this one feels more like a 2.88
Imagine what it would get if you kept your foot out of it! 🤣🤣 Fantastic looking car!!
Hahaha 😁

Thank you Dee. Sounds like you have some really nice cars. ;)
@@woodsandbarclay 👍🏼 😊
where would I buy an interior sliding sunroof panel for my 1980 300sd.
There was a leak and the panel is wrecked.
I would contact the dealership to get the part numbers and then you would probably have to look on eBay or find it for sale in the used market
I want that one!
It's for sale :)
