Good $$ though!

Looks like a great car for the money--I'm envious. I'm madly in love with MB diesel wagons.

BTW, It appears as if the back end is sagging a bit. You may need to rebuild the hydraulic suspension at some point--$$$ I'll be curious to hear how your conversion to manual climate control goes. Wish I could do that to my 124 wagon.

Good looking wagon. I have a 79 and love it. The hydraulic suspension parts are pricey, but once you rebuild it (I had to), it really rides well.

Howdy Mike,
A Marine Corp recruiter that I knew back in the 70s who was married and had kids said he would never own a wagen because it was the ultimate symbol of domestication Watch out Mike

Yeah, it actually doesn't even HAVE the hydro suspension....Some moron put normal shocks on the back, and it sucks. But I have all the correct parts to return it to normal. Now I just need the time to get it done.

Golly Mike, a wagon. You know those things are fertility enhancers. Ever seen one without a baby seat or a soccer ball?
