I didn't notice it was a long wheelbase....now that would probably weigh about as much as a 300td.

Still would be fast enough to be fun to drive though, IMHO, but you know, I am amused driving a 240d!

..I also have a 427 Cobra replica with an aluminum chassis.

I bet that car has a sweet ride lonnnnnnng wheelbase M110 5spd

thats the only one ive ever seen also

WOW with only #20,656 ever produced between1979-1985 #4598 produced 1984. That car was a steal for his asking price VERY LOW Production numbers Sure there were alot less Getrag 5 spd. manuals also.

Did you get it?

yes SIR I did The car was formerly owned by one of the richest men in MN a ONE OWNER CAR!!!!. And it was stored in a climate controlled Garage also. It is coming with full docs of maintenance, the car has been babied , from day one!!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W126 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_M110_enginehttp://home.concepts.nl/~vlimmere/index2.HTM Check out these two sites for some cool INFO one the legendary W126 alot of Info. The car is in transit to me allready, picked up on 2/28/2008

Congratulations! I thought I had a thread reply notification that said "I'll let you know when it gets here," but by the time I looked at the thread it was gone or edited away. I didn't want to "out" you if you didn't want to be outed.

That will be a neat car; the nice thing about it is that fixing the little bit of rust and that ding, etc... are a no-brainer, given it's rarity. Sometimes you buy an old Mercedes and immediately regret putting money into it when you see a nicer one for cheaper (or the same price). No real risk of that here; you have a RARE car. Pics, please, once you get it!

EDIT: Where do you live? I suspect there may be a few of us lining up to come have a look if you're nearby. You could charge admission.

I cant wait for it to get here and join the rest of the Stable I paid less than he was asking also!!! The only other pic i can find of a W126 with a manual 5 spd, is a Mercedes concept picture. I have been looking for 4 days so far. If anyone can find more pics of another W126 please post them.

I'm soooo jealous, Merc Master. Have fun with it, I'd LOVE it if my 126 was a manual.

Does it have a trunk triangle? If not, you'll need this:
