Well yes and no but , if you're just interested in blasting along you'd not own a vintage Mercedes Diesel....
I also agree that the W-123 chassis is more comfy on long drives , this is a common bone of contention amongst the W-126 owners ~ yes they get better fuel economy on the open road due to improved aerodynamics but I see more W-123 owners on long trips .
Hesperia isn't far , pop in some good tunes & join us ! .
