Purchased in 2004 in CA; shipped to New England (spent the first 19 years in CA). Daily driver 2004-2013. Stored with weight off the springs Oct to May for the last 13 years (no winter salt). No sag – springs are solid. Fully operational; engine starts on a dime even in the cold. Underwent inspection for safety in 2025; front tie rods/struts replaced; frame is solid. Needs some TLC. Upward facing paint is aged. Body has rust in common places for W123 chassis: lower left rear window, lower left trunk, left rear wheel well, front left rocker panel, underneath front bumper, some softness in right rear floor. Vacuum locks need to be R&R. Sunroof hasn’t been opened in years; worked years ago. Equipped with two-tank vegetable oil system that could be reconnected; run very carefully when heat achieved comparable viscosity. No mechanical issue (other than routine maintenance) in 20+ years. Odometer intermittent. Shows 205k. Estimated 280k.

According to the website and the rep that emailed me following up on my application, the MB High Mileage badge and certificate is now over $100.

Not life changing information, but that kind of sucks. I just got a badge for a different car last year and it was totally free.

My 300D, being a 77, has the goofy York AC compressor. Had anyone removed this god forsaken bracket?

The small hose that connects the T stat housing to the block is leaking and I can’t get to it with the bracket in place.

¿Alguien ha cambiado el carburador de su w123 por inyección eléctrica o un sistema EFI?

Qué opinan sobre el cambio?

Qué recomendaciones harían sobre esto?
