I thought you guys would find this interesting--a Mercedes W126 Limo at the Tolleson Pick-A-Part in Arizona. Of course, all the nice gold trim was broken from people trying to pry it off. The yard says they will not sell the car complete. I'm sure a limo owner could use a few parts from this if you're in the area! I'm also amazed at how many SLs and coupes end up in these yards.

All that effort and the front seats don't even match the rest of the interior

They aren't bolted down, either, but there is another W126 in the yard with seats that would match.

Maybe a super stiff sway bar in there?

^^^ What he said. Little effort might just turn a dime into fifteen cent.

As for OP, I ran across this limo's evil twin couple years back in north OC. Hideously tacky doesn't even begin...the thing wore white paint with a red, yes, your eyes are fine, I repeat, red roof cover, vinyl softop, treatment, whatever that thinger is called and tastefully blingity blinged out with 18" Penta knockoffs and gold, oh ya, you got it YELLOW GOLD trim. Gets better, the entire interior was what else but LEATHER in that same blood red color! Ha. Oooooohhhhhh, true playa fo' real! Can't remember how long I just stood there functionless. What a vivid etch that experience created. Of course, my luck being my luck, this was prior to any enlightenment about desirable parts to pluck from it.
