First and foremost: this is a project car. Yes. it runs. And drives. And stops and turns and wallows a bit while cornering like an old car should. You could even drive it to work every day. if that tickled your fancy. But it is still a project. I hope that I've been clear on that.
The fun parts that justify all the eBay window shopping you've been doing:
It's a W123 Mercedes. Full stop. Once running. it would survive an electromagnetic pulse. Just keep rumbling away. not a care in the world. As James May once said. it ". can be mended with a brick and a piece of string. " This car will be around several billion years from now. watching the sun expand. It's a lovely shade of gold and rather fetching from all angles. There is a vast community of like-minded individuals that love these cars and will gladly and gleefully help you convert it to run on used cooking oil/put a four-speed in it/make a tacky art car/cross the whole of Botswana/tart her up nice. It does run and drive and all that jazz.
Now the reality!
It needs an alternator. Badly. The automatic leveling rear suspension is currently set to nope. I'm told by the Internet it's often just a matter of changing out the fluid. so fingers crossed. It leaks. It's a diesel and therefore it is going to leak. But the leaks are slightly above normal. They are isolated to the oil filter housing and a line towards the differential underneath. so that's nice. I'm not sure about the A/C or heater. I haven't actually tried. The interior needs a rather thorough going over. Other things that will eventually pop up. She's almost thirty. after all. Do the world a favor and buy this car.  Drive her around and make strangers in their not as attractive cars jealous.  Take the time to doll her up and treat her right. and you won't ever have to buy another car. Which is a hell of a selling point. because frankly perusing eBay for cars can really take its toll.
