There was a W126 280S.

I had a set of AC controls like that. I gave up trying to convert an 81 SD to manual AC controls. I sold the controls to a fellow with a Euro W126 in Colorado.

Gosh, not only is the interior trim green, the trunk trim is green too!

I'd pay more for those wheels and hubcaps than I would for a set of bundts. I'd pay more for a set of 16" 16 hole wheels for my 93 SD than I would for a set of proper 8 hole wheels. Too bad early R129 wheels don't fit.

Forgot to mention = that probably is a 280SE. The 280S is a 126.021.

I'd go for it! (If it were diesel)

I would be the happiest man on the planet if I had a manual 240D in that color scheme!!! I really really love that green! It ain't for everybody, but the uniqueness would make it very desirable.
The steering wheel and shifter knob would find the trash in about a second and a half. I wouldn't even try to sell them. That would be like spreading a virus......

I must say that is a very powerful GREEN. Where on earth did they find that color And why?

Tastes change. Through most of the 70's, avocado was very popular on appliances, etc and people paid EXTRA for it much like they pay extra for stainless now. This may seem incredible to gen Y, but I was there, and it's true. And things changed more slowly in pre-Internet Europe.

Look at it closely. There's no way somebody replaced every piece of trim/carpet on that entire vehicle. Even the dash, how can you get a green Mercedes SD dash unless it's OEM?

Somebody here has a W126 that is green/green. Seems like their forum name starts with an "H".......

My 84 300sd is the same green, but has a mb text palamino interior. I picked up a pair of euro bumpers for her and now I'm looking for some Bosch euro lights and clear corners.

I wish they'd post a few pics to their gallery...

If Hitler were alive in 82 I'd swear he custom ordered that car . Is that Eva Braun's butt imprint on the back seat ?

Those are the controls my 500SEL has. I love 'em. No hassles importing my euro:D
Now here's a real green horror pic

Swamp things car ??? Interior of a deer stand perhaps ??
 

It looks like moss growing all over the thing.
Where in the cyber world did you even find those pics...??:behead:

I just threw up in my mouth...

I can find anything in the junkyards....:D I took the pics myself. I'm sure glad the car was not on the road anymore....:silly:
