sweet mile-eater. Those are incredibly solid machines. Back in the mid-80s Merc really built some tanks!

Nice! Easily good for another 100k miles.

I have one of those too, but its white. When I got it the odometer was stopped at 376k, so I'm sure yours will last for quite some time. Mine is getting euro lights and bumpers soon, and it had wheels from a gen 2 w126 when I got it, but other than that it looks just like yours.

Well, I have had the car for a couple of weeks and have fallen in love with it. A buddy hooked me up with the "how to" on tweeking the fuel control and turbo to make it a little less slow...What a wonderful car.

I would like to get some Euro-lights as well. But for now its finding an extra set of wheels for snow tires.
