Well after investing thousands into this amazingly rust free low mileage w126 to use as my Dailey driver I have realized this is not a practical vehicle for that and would be better off as some ones week end toy. I always wanted one of these cars for its classic lines and exceptional build quality so when I had the chance to purchase this car with a very low 77,000 miles on it I did, what I didn't know was the time spent in storage not running would cost me so much time and money to bring back to life. This car is super solid, the undercarriage and body are amazing the discoloration in the engine compartment and undercarriage is fluid film that I applied to try and preserve it's condition. The body is nice with the exception of some very minor damage on the left side doors from a flat bed just catching the side of the car while turning. The interior is in good condition with the exception of the lower rear seat has a tear, the left rear door panel has a few cracks the size of a finger nail and there are cracks in the wood inserts. The wheels are 17" sl500 rims with brand new uniroyal 235 45 tires. The engine runs nice and has plenty of power but the head has never been off so it is still running with the oil seeping original gasket ( though I have all the parts for that repair when the time does come for it). I will try to remember everything I have done to this car but as you can see from the amount of receipts I have, there was a lot done. First the fuel tank was removed and boiled, new pump,accumulator,filter, injectors,cap,eha valve,o2 sensor,air temp sensor,plugs,cap,rotor,wires,motor mounts,clutch fan,radiator,hoses,thermostat,flex joints,kyb shocks all the way around,rotors,pads,1 front caliper,electro magnetic heater valve, the dash was removed and heater box was rebuilt all new vacuum pods, new blue touth pioneer sterio with amped rear speakers,ac converted and charged,new window switches,2 new window track slides,all inner doors fluid filmed,new trunk gasket not yet installed,newer tail lights with good gaskets,front end aligned. I'm sure there is more but that's all I can recall without reading every receipt again. Also note that most all parts were oem Bosch as I am familiar with these cars not running well with aftermarket parts also I have a lot of new parts that are not installed yet that go with it beside the head related parts that I bought in advance knowing that all these engines suffer the same flaw. So to some this up this is could be a very nice example of a w126 that still has under 100k that I have done a lot of work to and invested probably more than my asking price into, this car was driven daily until last week, this car does run and drive but will need the head reworked in the future due to it seeping oil. If you know these cars you already know how common this is and what is Involved, that being said I have put 15,000 miles on it as it is. Contact me for more info
