Re: [MBZ] wagon build

Yes I am thinking om606 in w124. I stopped learning about mercedes wagons after the 1987 model year. If you tell me 1995 wagon is a better body, I will believe you, but when did anyone do a 606 swap on one of those? What number is that? w201 or 202? If people are paying 14k for cars like this

What is the drivetrain from? No reserve is the way to get people fired up. I sold a rather rusty but mechanically solid 1963 190dc sedan for almost 3K that way. Just let 'er rip. K On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 6:39 AM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I'm gearing up

What is with all the slammo wagon spring mutilators? That thing looks like it would shake your eye teeth out. If someone would actually race one, I could see the point. But that thing isn't even a diesel. Pshaw. Did they really run the w124 from 1987 through to 1995? Holy cow that is a long

Re: [MBZ] wagon build

Karl, Your 123 wagon is probably worth $5k or more on eBay. Are you looking for an '87 wagon or sedan to hot rod? Wagons are somewhat rare, and usually neglected and beat up. 124 wagons are generally sold for less than 123 wagons. My current dream is an OM606 turbo in a '95 wagon body. --

I'm gearing up to sell my repainted 1985 300TD, diamond blue with a near-flawless dark blue interior, after market third seat, working A/C, and roof racks. It has a replacement drive train but so what? Should be an interesting ebay auction. The toughest part will be settling on a reserve

Re: [MBZ] wagon build

Why not, if it's nice? You can always do a "second chance offer" if it doesn't meet the reserve. Just remember that eBay will rape you on fees. It's a necessary evil, but where else will you get that kind of exposure? With that in mind, you might want to consider signing up for BenzWorld and

Re: [MBZ] wagon build

The point being is that it will be mostly MB people who know the car well and will often pick nits. I don't expect you'll get top dollar there for just that reason, unless the car is really outstanding. If you want to get top dollar, I would say go to eBay. People pay stupid money for stuff

In my case, I didn't realize the springs were different until about three months after I bought them. I sent a message to the eBay seller and they wanted all the details as far as application. When that didn't pan out, they got Lesjofors involved. Despite photographs of the springs side by side
