1984 mercedes 280sel - w126 - 5 speed
No affiliation.
A 5 speed 126, that's gotta be fun to drive! http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ctd/1039153324.html Just arrived! A beautiful and extremely rare Mercedes W126 280SEL. This vehicle was imported from Germany in 1984. As such, it has very rare and hard-to-find options. These include: full euro headlights and tail lights, full euro interior with headlight adjusters, full euro bumpers, the 2.8 Liter M110 engine with 185 Horsepower, and a 5 speed manual transmission. This W126 is in great shape throughout. We have included over 30 pictures for you to get a clear understanding of its condition. The engine makes great power, the transmission works great in all gears, the clutch and brakes are super strong. In fact, everything on this car works as it should. In addition to the above, the vehcile also comes with all the literature and manuals provided when the vehicle was new. Also interesting to note is the full service history with documented oil changes and maintenance schedules. Below, you will see over 30 large pictures providing a clear view of the car's great exterior and interior condition. Pictures:

Nice car. The throw into 2nd there looks like the trans is disconnected.
Now if it were backed up with a 560 motor....

Nice, but.....
Lots of miles, dented door, rust in the usual places turns me off. He wants all the money for this car, no cushion to fix the warts. Unusual to see leather in a car like this. Jim

I put it on because it was a 5 speed Euro 126, don't see them too often. I wonder if the 5 speed would bolt to my diesel 126...hmmmm.

Where did you see this rust in the usual places? I can not see any rust in any of the pictures other than in some rock chips just above the bumper.

That's not the original cluster. Notice it has an SRS light, even though the car doesn't have an airbag... and even if it did it would say RS, not SRS. Also the o2 sensor light. So who knows what the actual miles are...

I'm actually not even considering buying it. I just put it up here in case anyone else is. It would be fun to get the transmission though...

Doesn't the M110 have the same side starter bump as the OM617?
A twin turbo 560 motor in there would be interesting....

I had an M110 W123 chassis car and it was plenty fast but seems like it might be too small a motor for a W126. The five speed would be nice, however.
