The Mercedes-Benz W116 S-Class continued the tradition of flagship luxury where the W108 left off in 1972. Styling was by Friedrich Geiger and it was the first production turbodiesel sedan to be released into the wild by Mercedes-Benz...or anybody else for that matter. Today's example needs a little TLC, but has plenty of miles under her belt and plenty to go. Find this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300SD W116 offered for $1200 in Bothell, WA.
