You don't see many W123s like this

This one has been interestingly modded.

Hi, Ruben did you get any sunburn at the meet? I'm getting over mine
Say, you must have missed the thread the seller (also a Shopforum memner) started last week:
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=152910
Even with the rust its going to attract some 5-speed lovers!

That is a nice car. I wonder if it has the na 300d flywheel or if they were lazier and just used a 240's. Too bad it doesn't have the front air dam, it looks a little strange with just the sides. But still a turbo 5er has to be a nice driving car. Someday...

Lots of potential, but I would lose all the tacky AMG plastic and wheels. About $5K worth of body work and paint and it could be nice.

the things on the sides are covering rusty rockers, no doubt.

but the car has many nice features.

should be nice to drive. i bet it was originally a na 300 so it prob has the 300 fw.

broken fan shroud, hmm.

lots of rust on the engine parts and throttle rods...
I agree, the kit covers lots of rust. Thoroughly inspect the undercarriage...

I do think the body kit were not installed properly and the car is missing the air dam. I would be interested in buying it just for the transmission, the wheels and a complete AMG skirt and a few other nice parts.

It is a good and expensive part car!

That car has already been discussed here. It is being sold by shop forum member turbodiesel.
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=152910

He also sold me my 300D and sold a 300SDL to Plantman. He's not a dealer, just a certified car nut. And a very nice guy.

Don't like the rust, the window plastic, or the pin stripe (especially across the trunk).

I like the interior, the BRIGHT paint color (love those wacky MB colors!), and the 5 speed.
