Back in the day, in 1996, mine cost me $38,000 off a Mercedes Benz dealer's lot near Disneyland.

But I still have it and ran it 140 mph going to Orange County last Saturday to a Mercedes car show.

It's my favorite Benz body style. This is a great thread!

Merry Christmas!

Euro Accessorizing!!!

The car gets a HELLUVA better Christmas this year than I will.


The brand new W126 euro-only spare tire mounted W126 7-litre Mercedes Benz auxiliary gas can is now here,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350003433658&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:MOTORS:1123


to keep company with the W126 euro fire extinguisher, trunk triangle, and euro lights and blinkers that were added, (along with the set of new W140 style 8 hole ASA replica wheels this year.)

The W126 fitted euro-only "Glock-box" front seat oddiments box and fire extinguisher mounts have made it from the Berlin parts source to the USA and will be at the front door from UPS shortly...

And best of all, soon as only 2 more orders come in, the "Group Buy" will be triggered, and Remus in Austria will remanufacture, my new W126 model specigfic exhaust box and dual tips!!!

A Remus dealer that is down near San Francisco Airport has agreed to do the custom install.

What a fantastic 200 mile roadtrip home THAT is going to be, coming back with the new Remus on it!!!.


The goal continues on: making it a full-boat Euro- spec coupe, one piece at a time.....it's getting there....

Yaa! I'm finally here. I got my first SEC this month. I'd love to have a set of rims like on the SEC Nick posted above. What are they, and where can I get them?

Also looking for the body trim like the AMG has on it. I don't care if it's authentic, so knock-offs are fine with me.

Fulcrum525 that is truly a breath taking W126 sedan, I can't tell if if is dark blue or black, but it's gorgeous.


It looks like it has the rare french euro headlights and a perfect set of euro headlight wipers.


NO finer front light set up exists than that on a car like that. VERY VERY well done. Best one I ever saw on a W126 sedan.
