While on my lunch break yesterday, I saw something that made my skin crawl: a mint-condition, clean, maroon-colored W123 300D turbo...with a SPOILER ON THE BACK! Please tell me MB never, but NEVER put spoilers on these cars, and that it was simply a misguided add-on!

-with tongue firmly in cheek,

Matt

Zoonhollis,

Has to be, as you properly charecterize, a misguided add on.

There is no car model that can totally escape the butcher's.

Have a great day,
Larry

Amazing how some people associate TURBO with the need for a SPOILER.

I have a TURBO shop vacuum.... last time I checked there was no spoiler on it and I doubt there ever will be a need unless one of 'those' guys get hold of it :D :D

I once saw a pic of a 123 with an airdam, it may be possible that some company made a spoiler for it too. I think it was a KBB? some sort of 3 letter company (Not AMG).
Rumor has it, Larry B. is going to have to put on wheelie bars on his 240D after replacing the clutch! :D

Yeah, the wheelie bars 'll be cool, but where can I get one of these spoilers?

I wish I could purchase a new C270 to put a spoiler on. Have ya'll read about that one. Sounds like an outstanding auto. I think there is a conspiracy going on with the oil companies to prevent high milage, high performance automobiles from being sold in the US. They like to see the sales of those Tahoes/Suburbans/Expeditions/Excursions I guess.
