Vehicle Description
The W123 chassis Mercedes Benz first hit the market in 1976 and was
an overnight sensation. There were year long waiting lists and
demand was so strong that used examples were more expensive than
new models. The car represented the best of the company. Rock solid
build quality, safety, innovation, and prestige. Many consider the
W123 to be one of the greatest cars ever made, with nearly 3
million being produced when production ended in 1985. With five
different bodies styles and a dozen engine choices, there was a
model for everybody, both private and commercial and the vast
majority of W123's are still running around the world in the
toughest conditions.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this nice Arctic White
example for your consideration. Overall, this car is very nice,
with a solid straight body with just a few small chips here in
there. Paint quality on these models was excellent and it still
looks good today. A contrasting pinstripe runs down the side. The
navy blue interior is in excellent shape and is very comfortable.
The large, well padded MBtex vinyl faux leather is in perfect shape
and will probably outlive everyone. The wood trim is generally in
good shape and some parts have minor clear coat cracks. The
dashboard is crack free and is color matched. All of the features
seem to work well including the power windows, power locks, heater,
radio, and sunroof. The car sits on 14in classic "Bundt" wheels
with nearly new tires. The car also has a new battery.
The stock 3.0L I5 turbo diesel engine runs like a peach and is the
most desirable of the W123 chassis. Very few things can go wrong
with these engines and they can often run for 500k miles with no
changes. The 4speed automatic is a willing partner and shifts
smoothly. This car has been very well taken care of and has been
owned by the same owner since 1985. According to the owner, it has
been garaged its whole life. If you are looking for a simple, low
maintenance tank, look no further. These old Mercedes will last
longer than we will.
