Then again more Merc running gear is not a bad thing, find a wreck and pull
the mechanicals out ready to slip into the ole 123.
Hmmnh a 123 with a 2.7 cdi or 3.2 V6.
Anyway SsangYong (does not sound as good as Mercedes-Benz) have been
shipping their stuff over here since 96 or 97 with MB running gear.

and his dreams of a fuel efficient and powerful 123
