I drove one of these 123 coupe conversions. I drove it in Weatherford, Texas about 10 years ago. It was done by adding the square box sections in the rocker panel area. It was a 300CD turbo that I drove. The car handles poorly. A lot of twist and road bounce, while going down the road.
I was not impressed with the car.
Neat idea if Mercedes had done it right. If was"fun" to drive and have room for the kids. But the hole modificatioin was a "rigging"
of the idea.
Not anyting I would put money down on.
