I know of one fellow in another MB forum who has one in NYC and if memory serves one fellow in this forum has one. And I saw one for sale in central California a few years ago. Is that all that's left of the W123 230s?

Is your quest for a tech question or just general knowledge?

No technical question. Just wondering where all the 230E conversion candidates have gone. A 280E will do just as well

What motor is in a '77-'78 230E?

The later 230E (123 car) with the m102 and the 5spd would be a fun car.

Had a:

1980 300SD
1992 400E

The 230E started in 79 or 80 and wasn't offered in the US. The engine in the 230 is the old M115 I believe.
