Not that I am a psychic or anything, but I see a 124 wagon with a 606 repower in your future.

I am surprised no one has mentioned a W123 or W126 diesel limo

heres a good read where aaa dropped a 603 in a 1990 300TE 124 wagon with a blown gas motor. He makes it sound pretty simple- The mail-order 300TE (OM603 project)

YES.
Was there an age limit to the vehicle? im proceeding on the assumption of the wife wanting something newer, but would she go for a 123 or 126? did Martureo say a year cutoff? Buy one of these cheap 900 dollar early 80s 126s floating around in good tick, then go spend a 5k having a similar size donor wagon rear roof and lift gate installed, maybe even the parts from a 123 wagon donor, with some custom widening of the door and opening. All one time bodywork expense, and the car is still basically a 126 with no change in maintenance needs.

My wife likes the 606 a little better. I'd like a turboed 606 for her personally.

I'm now wondering whether the low-budget option would be to put higher springs onto Mitzi. That would give you a diesel six-seater with a ride height lightly higher than that of the wagon that i not an SUV or minivan.

Honestly the height issue is the only thing standing in the way of a s124 with a 606.

Rig up a 124 wagon to raise up some when the motor is stopped and lower back to normal riding height when motor is started. Maybe that would meet expectations?
