She asked the estate sale people if I would share it.  I did, since I wanted to 
know if the car had found a good home.  Also, I did not trust the ladies 
running the sale to know anything of value about the car.

The part (spare wheel) arrived finally, it's somewhat rusty so giving it
a bath and electrolysis treatment. Once the rust is gone I'll give it a
POR-15 paint job, should be good for a long while.

oh yeah there's the VIN.  Looks like it might have black leather 
elsewhere and then the designo seats option to go with that?  It is 
fairly attractive as some of these designo combinations go. 160kmi kinda 
high for the asking price but maybe it is otherwise nice enough and

Some sort of special edition or special order or something?  Looks 
original though, and kinda nice. Get the VIN and see what it says

2021-06-10 Thread Floyd Thursby via Mercedes
The key got to position two before the ignition broke. Tow truck driver 
tried to use a screwdriver after that.



The driveway was about half a block long and not big enough for a tow 
truck so the goal was to drive it to the street



Position two is as far as it would go and it wouldn’t turn back to 
position one either



Yes that’s where it decided to permanently stay. Key had popped out with 
zero issue



I have a new cylinder with 2 keys I ordered for it a couple months ago

So I found a utuber of a guy doing the job and told this guy to give it 
a try, he says he is not mechanical at all but it is really a fairly 
simple job so I encouraged him to have a go at it. He couldn't get 
anyone to deal with it but would like to drive the car. i encouraged him 
so he is going to give it a try this weekend. He says it is actually 
fairly decent other than the crappy paint job, bought it from an estate 
sale, the old guy had 2 126s, a 211 and 4 123s "There were 6 Mercedes 
and 3 fifth Avenues ALL PAINTED BLUE!!!"

If

Never seen a brown W123 coupe before. Could be a steal at $3k.  Looks like
someone got angry (or was plastered) and stabbed the front seat with a
kitchen knife.  Easy replacement.  Definitely worth a look to enrich
Floyd's garage.

 Seller's Description

I had bought this from an estate where it had been sitting for a couple
years. Was told it ran when parked but I can’t confirm that. My plans
were to hire a mobile mechanic to get it going and drive it on Sundays
but after several failed attempts at hiring one I’ve now given up. The
ignition is broken and needs to be replaced (I have a brand new one) If
you know these engines they never die. Comes with clean Georgia title
last issues in 1999 (miles exempt marked on title) These are really
starting to increase in value and this would be an easy restore since
the body looks rust free and straight and even the interior is in pretty
good condition. I will not entertain 50% offers so don’t waste my time
or yours the price is slightly negotiable. Cash , Cashapp or credit
cards only (3% fee on cc)

Red leather interior looks decent from just the couple of pics, "smoke

I’ve done it, it’s a pig of a job because of where the ABS unit is located. 
Cheap repair, but really unpleasant to do, like motor mounts.
