Larger than a W123? As long as you're fixing it and he's paying for the gas, splurge on a W126 sedan, the 420, 500 or 300SD. If he can afford lots of gas, make it a 560.

If he wants something that he can beat up the way a pickup is usually mauled, go for either a W123 or W124 wagon.

As a long time suburban driver as well as purely home brew mercedes mechanic, I love the suburban for its rock solid dependability and cavernous room to hold almost anything in it or on it. But the W124 wagon I picked up a few months back can do it with grace, poise and style.
