Hi New Member here
Hi, I usually spend time in the Porsche forums but I want to get back to a vintage Benz. I had a 78 300CD for 13 years and traded it towards my 79 911SC. Well it actually was my wifes 911 but she wanted to get back to a Benz and I took it over and she got a 2005 350SLK Orion Blue with 6 speed manual.
I am thinking of 2 series the 300CD 123 series or a late fifties early sixties 190SL. The 300 is somewhat affordable but if I found a 190SL with no drivetrain it would be something more creative to "build". So time will tell. I did all the work on the 300CD so hopefully I can share some info there and have been gaining knowledge of the K Jetronic CIS system. I do have a few parts to sell as I clear the garage attic this spring preparing to move. I'll post them as I find them. Terry Terry

I can't blame you for trading the original coupe, I've eyed a couple of Targas recently, but I do hope you can find a fun project. I agree the 190sl would be much more fun and rewarding but I also have a soft spot for the W123 coupe because a friend had one in High School that was the primary vehicle transport our friends, loved that car.
Welcome and we look forward to seeing your progress!

I have a 190SL and my dad has two 123s and I used to have a 123 CE, difficult to compare the two but both are great choices!
