420 SEC general question
I am usually on the diesel board. Since picking up my first MB a month ago, I have started to notice them more often.
On my street, sitting lonely in the back of a driveway, is a 420 SEC. I don't know what the year is or anything about it. I did a quick search on it, Wikipedia states that there were only 3,680 built? Is this correct? Is this a car I should be trying to get my hands on? I was curious about this car thinking it may need some work and I can fix it up and sell it. If it is worth something (and the owner does not know this) I could make some serious profit??? Thanks in advance.

It's a euro car and they were made in very small numbers because people either bought the 500SEC or 560SEC.
I doubt that you'll make 'serious' profit from one but who knows. W126's are not collectible and the faster,sexier and more luxurious model is the 560SEC which is readily available.

A really good, late SEC is worth more than many SL's. The production numbers are much lower.

Like the others said, you wouldn't likely turn much of a profit on it, but they're fine cars to own for the joy of driving them!
As my signature shows, diesels and gassers can coexist in the stable.
