Brought home another stray
 
Found this locally with only 123k miles on it and aside from a door ding that has begun to rust is is totally rust free! Everything seems to work and it was dealer serviced in NYC until last fall when the PO stopped driving and have it to her nephew who I bought it from.

It needs the rust spot attended to along with a paint job since the paint is currently junk but mechanically it is perfect. I even have the service history since new :D

Nice score !

NICE
 
Okay, I'm alittle prejudiced in my opinion. Luv MB V8's. You will too. Looks like you found a nice one.

Looks like fun

Took it thru the car wash this afternoon. The paint looks much better in daylight and when its clean.

Very cool!

My dad picked up an E420 this past fall, they are great cars. Pick up a 92 WOT module if you're planning on holding onto it.

...and change those gopping headlights please!

Its on the list. I forgot how useless these are compared to the euro lights on my other W124's

Its amazing what wheels and tires can do for a car.

nice wheels! are those ET37 offset by any chance?
I will be putting new tires and 16" wheels on the '95 wagon soon. There are so many choices, all OE of course I wouldn't be caught dead with 18" black painted wheels on my ride.
I still have a set of CLK wheels, the ones shown on the Blue '87 300D in my gallery pics but the bling factor was too great for my disposition (besides some snide comments I received over plated wheels!) so I bought a set exactly the same but not plated from a Forum member over a year ago and love 'm
So I just ordered another set for the wagon...
Oh yeah, those leather seats look almost mint! don't forget to feed em sometime.. what was that stuff I used when I had leather seats, Lexol?

unkl300d 02-07-2015 07:07 PM

Lexol !

OP, yes upon scrutiny, those headlights are dopey. Euro headlights will really enhance the look.

So this happened last week... Yes I took a picture of the odometer showing the model of the car ;)

Good Stuff
 
Pretty soon you're going to have to take a picture of which car you drove on a particular day, so you can remember what to look for in the parking lot.

LOL its not that bad yet although my driveway does currently have 3 W124's parked in it. I am trying to sell the 87 300E so I will be back down to 2 hopefully soon.
