Ultimate W123 'wagon'

Could this be the ultimate 3-door W123 wagon?

The interior is pretty trashed; I'd rather go in a 2007 model.

i have always had a weak spot for the hand made bodied commercial cars.

i had a 52 pontiac ambulance, a 52 caddy ambulance and a 51 caddy hearse. the first two were kindof rags but the 51 was a 40k mile sweetheart.

the only car that drove better on the highway than a benz. (not counting curves).
