Speedo/odo doesn't match the other gauges.
A 300D can barely keep front seat riders air conditioned, and only at certain temps. Can you imagine being in the back of that thing in the summer?? No!!
All that aside, it sure is clean!!!

It's a taxi, not a limo.

I'd call it a factory limo unless MB says otherwise. Many manufacturers use the quarter panels / tail from a 2 door and grafted it to a 4 door center section.

Cadillac did this in the 50's , Chrysler did this even in the 80's with the K car making a executive sedan. Volvo did cars like this too.

And even if this were factory, it still would be the taxi platform, not the limo platform...

FWIW, I just looked up the VIN in the EPC, it comes up as a factory LWB W123 300D (W123.132)? I see now it's listed as sold for $18,000!

Mercedes produced specifically designed LWB chassis of both the W123 & W124, either as a factory bodied 4 door (W123), 6 door (W124) or
with front clip only for ambulance/hearse/van conversion by other coachbuilders (Binz ect.).

Ugh. Wrong wheels. Wrong lights.

21k miles? LOL

I think they made a typo on the price and added an extra zero.

I have problems with the wheels, tail lights, and radio. And price. It's a very nice looking taxi though. But not at that price.

I wonder if it's the one that belonged to Dan Penoff (well-known on other Mercedes lists) as if memory serves he was in the Naples area.

It would be interesting to know the history of this car. The "mods" (lol) are hideous and the mileage is as believable as a politician.

Didn't Dan's have the 250 gas engine?
