I think only about 6-7k (with diesels) were built for US delivery. They are pretty rare! Probably a whole lot more were sent elsewhere and within Europe....

I saw some "official" numbers of US import of 124 diesel wagons. It was something like 2,200 or 2,600.

I've got a gold or smoke silver one. I don't even know the color name. Its the same as VZtechs though. Mine is Red intererior. Far from mint but works great. I need a red door panel for right rear door if anyone has one #14 head with only 133,000 or so according to odometer. Indiana car. I should be set for the next 50 years.

I just had a vision of converting a gasser W124 wagon to a diesel by way of a 606 turbo engine and a 5-speed manual. A W124 gasser wagon should be easier to find than a diesel model. I'll have sweet dreams now.

I am fairly sure that my white with blue interior was probably a mobile tech vehicle for the dealer. The only documents that came with it identified it as sold by the dealer as previously owned in the early 90s, but I hear that many of the white with blue were used as dealer vehicles. On the other hand, why would the dealer order a model with the rear jump seat for their use?

It is hardly mint and the paint job done sometime before I got it was terrible and is quickly failing. I do have a full set of replacement seats though along with some nice engine upgrades -- alternator, #22 head, afterglow. I would love to put a five speed in it...

I have one, Blue Black/Palomino with 212000 on the clock. #22 head. Runs great with no rust (just moved to Wisconsin from Georgia so that may change).
