I am using the dash from an 86 420SEL so it's going to be recognized as a half breed by the trained eye. The body does have the low mileage as will be reflected on the odometer.
Yes so long as the cluster fits - there might be a difference between the generations in the W126 - I'm not 100% sure. It might be possible to fit just the speedo bit within the old cluster though...

...I'm not really W126 fine detail orientated - sorry
