Restored cars that are not original are certainly worth less than a unrestored car in great shape...

Can't argue with any of that. I would also note that I have no idea what that car is worth. I'm just saying that if it costs $20K to get a really, really nice w123, then that's still a lot of car for the money, especially when compared to a newer Kia or something.

BTW there are precious few (if any were ever built) 617-95X w123 wagons/coupes/sedans with a/c, a manual tranny and manual a/c....

Which is too bad. A sedan with those specs would be my preference. Mercedes automatic HVAC from that era is crap. Japanese cars completely kick Benz's butt when it comes to HVAC. My wife's 1998 Accord has better HVAC than my 1985 300D or my 1999 BMW ever had.
