“Mercedes W123 coupe, sedan and wagon chassis.
“Produced since 1973 during the ’80s. It was the car that convinced the masses that 100k+ miles could be expected without major engine service, or any major service, because that matters… if you can afford the original purchase price.
“The Japanese are certainly on the right track, but most Americans still struggle with the cultural image issues associated with these vehicles. After all, most World War II vets hadn’t even retired yet.
“The Mercedes W123 is still widely regarded as one of the best cars ever built — from any decade.”
Built between 1976 and 1986, the W123 product line includes sedans, coupes and scooters. In total, the German automaker sold more than 2.7 million W123 vehicles during this period.
