300GD VIN help

WDB46033327077130

What production year is this? The latter half of 1990, or could it be 1991?

Thanks

Unfortunately, the Vehicle Data Card does not show the delivery date. Some do and some do not. Sorry.

Re: 300GD VIN help

The 300GD w460 chassis was taken off the market in 1990 so 1989-90 is the latest version.

It is RHD.

I was thinking 1989 too, but then a google search yielded lower serial numbers in the UK. 64763 dated April 1989 and 74907 from 1990.

Re: 300GD VIN help

WDB46033217073520 was produced late 1990, most likely Q4, on road in december 1990.
WDB46033327077130 yours is 3610 vehicles later, so early 1991?

Re: 300GD VIN help

Here are a couple of Vins of similar 300GD's converted into pickup according to info text. Whats interesting is that the engine's serial number are very low ~ 2200 indicating that the engines were made in the early 1980's . A "normal " 300GD of this era would have engine no around 19000 - see example below VIN     Engine Serial #
46033217073520 2204
46033217073521 2286
46033217073527 2290
46033217073528 2296
'Normal' 300GD example
46033217073545 19789

It probably differ whether it is a 10 or 12 engine - different engine block due to different equipment mounted.
