IMO, not ideal for occasional use, not ideal for an occasional driver. That's what Accords and Camrys are for.
IMO, not ideal for performance mods unless you go full bore like they do in Finland. Nothing you do within a reasonable budget will make it perform better than a similar vintage E320, let alone an E420/E430. Comparable V8 gassers are typically cheap, plentiful, better equipped and are available with low miles.

Thanks! Thats a start. Any other engines or cars to look at? I wasn't specifying JUST those chassis, I just meant from that era of design.

No, my W123 was definitely a turbo, haha.
