Hey, Ok Don, How is the
As many of you know, I've been looking for some better seats for my 300SD.
I came across several seats out of similar gasser models (420SEL, 500SEL and
560SEL). Will these fit into my 300SD? I figure it may be worth a try
since there aren't as many high mileage gassers out there. Gasser S
should fit - same chassis, same mount points. So long as the power option
is the same, should work.

Usually. The dealer MAY have taken delivery there (sort of a working
vacation) and then brought it to the States and sold it either as a new
or demo

No adhesive required, it should just fit into a square slot all the way

Similar to a sleeper. A car that's a lot faster than it looks.
This dates back to WWII, when it referred to an anti-submarine warship

Very cool. I never heard of that term and certainly would never had

I guess my 1983 300TD and '70 280SE 3.5 coupe are both Q ships.

If that's the case then you must have some propane injection or other such
option to boost your 83 300td to double it's horsepower... I figure my 83
300D has the same power and less weight than your td and I think it goes
about as fast as it looks. If anything, mine perhaps sounds faster than
That's a negatory - the 300TD is no Q-ship. It doesn't look fast and (most
importantly) ISN'T fast.
The 3.5 -might- be a Q ship, but the coupe design probably makes it look
fast.
True MB Q-ships are cars like the 6.3, 6.9, and 500E - sedate-looking sedans
that have jaw-dropping performance.

Bob - door checks, when not lubricated once in a while, tend to rust and

Kevin - I didn't know that '83SD cars had the memory seat function. My '84
did, and it was in a module under the driver's seat. But my '83 is just

contacts cleaned, and then they work as new.

spring while in there. Boy did that make a difference. Was flairing
