This would be fun - if for nothing other than the novelty of it....
Manual 6 cylinder W126 LWB S-Class..... The only thing I would do is change out the headlights back to the Euro style.

The steering wheel is also a bit dated. Last edited by FC; 03-03-2021 at 12:15 PM. |

As much a I love 80s Mercedes sedans (and wagons), I have a hard time figuring out how they'd fit in. At this point, I think they're too old to use as daily drivers but at the same time, they're not exactly fun weekend cars either. I picture taking something like this out on a sunny weekend morning to get coffee or something-- but that'd only make sense if I had room for 4+ cars. |

Another E36/S54 swap. Great color. Seems like maybe some shortcuts taken though the seller is a bit defensive about it.

I have the E23 and drove that last summer straight - for several weeks. But that car, while kinda fun and novel - don't feel for it as a daily use car. But - Just about any 80's Mercedes would work that way for me - YMMV as always.
