straight body! no visible rust (might be some though) and seats look new to make me believe the speedometer reading is accurate!

while surfing the Net tonite I saw something I've never seen before on a 210 chassis diesel
Interesting hood scoops, wonder where they came up with them?

addemdum: seller replied to email and said they have no knowledge of the car at all, they bought it that way and its not driveable

I’ve never seen seats like that in a w123. Is that normal? Also why is the 300d trunk badge all the way on the right side ??

Hm ;

Front seats replaced, steering wheel replaced, console wood all broken not sure why you think this is a low miler.....

Looks like most 350,000 + milers in Los Angeles .

There was a W116 gasser I believe a S280 that was previously used by the Belgian Consulate as I recall.
It was a deep green almost British Racing Green, a gorgeous car with flag posts on the front fenders. It reeked Factory Special!

It was dropped off at a shop I worked at part time on a Friday afternoon. It was a 9.5 on a scale of ten and the owner was grooming it for a sale and I suppose I could have taken out a second mortgage and bought it if I had asked all the right questions!
I never learned who bought it but it belonged in a museum!
Be sure and insure your car appropriately!

Those hood scoops look strikingly like these - https://www.jcwhitney.com/details/Wade_Auto/Hood_Scoop/WAD7213001.html?TID=gglpla&origin=pla&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6be84ri_4AIVCySGCh0VHAF-EAQYASABEgLzy_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Sold individually? What do you do with one?

Looks like sixto pegged it!!
silly hood scoops!
would look a lot better off without them

BTW I believe the seller would take a lot less to get rid of it.
I have a relative in Texas but he is not a Benz lover but could be convinced to go check it out.
Still, I can't help but wonder if the engine is good?

I'm not surprised ~ most w123 Coupes here in So. Cal. are battered, if this one is as good as it looked it's worthwhile to purchase and rebuild or swap running gear from a wreck into....

Nate: I have a white '82 coupe for sale. It is the "Pick-A-Part" save in a thread here. It has no fourth gear, so I have a complete 4 spd kit to put in it. I just need time to do it........Rich

Probably involved drilling the floor and reshaping brackets. I wonder how they dealt with electric seat control switches.
