It's about as optioned as a '91 300E can be. And at a fair price if it's in shape.

This is a stunning 300E 4matic, if only I had the funds for it now!

It may have been privately imported, due to the Euro headlights with the correct wipers & leveling, warning triangle in the trunk ect.
And special ordered at that; having heated seats, rear shade, driver & passenger orthopedic seats installed!

Weather it's actually a US car or converted Euro car, an excellent job was done either way. You really can't tell!


EDIT: Just checked the VIN & it is a US car ordered through the European delivery program (code: 820 version for tourists)! The owner was smart to pick up some cool factory accessories for their new car while they were over there!

I dig it. 124s are really slow movers right now.

Would be soooo nice to have!

I like the trunk liner. I wish I could score a trunk in the same color as my car with the liner and mount my triangle. I needs a clip!

Love the color, never seen a 300E like this. Aren't the earlier 4matics problematic?

You can add the trunk liner from a wrecking yard car to an early 124. Jeremy can tell you what little bits are needed.

Sixto,

I recall that as well. Back when my kids were young, I was looking at early 90s 4Matic wagons, until someone tipped me off that they were problematic & big $$ fixes.

Just wondering....

So instead you bought a rod bender.

Zackly. Except I was looking at 4matics back in the late 90s, so the price was a premium (then), like $15-20K.

Since the compression/leak down was good on this rod bender, I deemed the risk to be less (but I could definitely be eating those words).

Do you know if the rebuilds on those early 4matics had corrected the "issues"? I recall driving one that had the clunk on deceleration, which I thought was the tell tale of a problem unit.

Just curious.

Thanks again for your help.

Pete
