1976 Mercedes-Benz 300D – Iconic W115 Diesel Elegance with Euro Racing Flair
The Car Club – Mesa, AZ
By Appointment Only – Call 480-475-7775
Offered here is a timeless piece of Mercedes-Benz engineering: a 1976 Mercedes-Benz 300D finished in classic Midnight Blue over its original blue MB-Tex interior – a color combination that perfectly captures the style and sophistication of late-70s German luxury.
This W115 chassis 300D is powered by the legendary OM617 3.0L inline-5 diesel engine, known for its bulletproof reliability and mechanical simplicity. With no turbocharger to worry about, this naturally aspirated diesel starts up smoothly and runs strong, delivering a driving experience that’s both nostalgic and durable. Paired with an automatic transmission, it glides through the gears with confidence and grace.
What sets this particular example apart is its subtle nod to classic Mercedes racing heritage: a set of “Red Pig”-style wide rally wheels — a tasteful throwback to AMG’s iconic 300 SEL 6.8 Red Pig that dominated European racing circuits in the early 1970s. The flared wheel arches, wide stance, and motorsport presence give this 300D a uniquely aggressive character while maintaining its luxury sedan roots.
Inside, the cabin is a time capsule. The original blue interior remains in beautiful condition, showing well with only minimal signs of wear. The upholstery is intact, and the door panels, carpets, and headliner are all preserved with care. The factory Becker stereo and original switchgear are all in place, maintaining that unmistakable vintage Mercedes charm.
Whether you're a collector looking for a classic W115, a diesel enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates old-school German craftsmanship, this 300D offers a rare combination of style, heritage, and reliability. These models are only going up in value, and finding one with this kind of patina, preserved originality, and motorsport-inspired character is no easy task.
