This one family-owned, unmolested survivor is a great example.
Like its predecessors, the W123 gained the reputation of being well built and reliable.
This example, like its brethren, was made in West Germany in July 1979 and it was bought at Stivers Lincoln-Mercury in St.
Louis, Missouri.
Its first service occurred at 622 miles on December 12, 1979, and its final recorded service occurred on July 10, 1991, at 70,282 miles.

Dressed in Colorado Beige (code DB470), this car?s paint and trim are in overall excellent condition.
The bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is immaculate, the chrome and rubber trimmed bumpers are in very good order and fit well to the body.
This car rolls on radials, size 17565R14 at every corner.
Each tire is mounted on a steel wheel, topped with a body-colored wheel cover.
The wheel covers are in very good order.
Under the hood is a 2.

916).
This motor is a backed by a four-speed automatic transmission (code 722.

The W123 shares technical similarities with its predecessors including engines, steering system, and suspension system.
The design is updated with styling cues from its larger sibling, Mercedes-Benz W116, namely wider ribbed taillights, horizontal headlamps, front turn signal indicators on the outer edge, and pull-to-open door handles.
Inside, the car?s Saffron M-B Tex upholstery is in great shape on the front buckets and rear bench seat.
The carpet and headliner are in the same shade and Mercedes? usual over-sized, four-spoke steering wheel.
The interior is revised with a larger instrument panel, central round ventilation outlets, HVAC control panel and a single row of control switches in the centre.
The instrument panel has three large gauges placed behind a single plastic cover.
The manual HVAC control panel has three large dials with the left and right for individual temperature control and the centre dial for fan speed control.
Air flow is controlled by two sliders (left for upper zone and right for lower zone).
If the optional air conditioning unit was ordered, a temperature roll dial was fitted to the row of control switches.
The automatic HVAC control panel is simplified with a single roll disc on the left for temperature control, a row of push buttons in the middle for directing the air flow and switching the system on and off and a vertical set of buttons on the right for controlling the fan speed and switching automatic control on and off.
The center console and shifter, plus a Becker Europa AM/MW radio, round out the interior.
Notable exterior differences between European and North American versions included:
Larger and stronger bumpers that resist collision damage up to five mph Round sealed beam headlamp capsules and fog lamps; the large glass covers partially the housing.
The fog lamps had clear lens until 1980 model year when they were tinted yellow Amber-coloured retroreflective markers on the front turn signal indicators which double as night illumination Red-coloured retroreflective markers at side edge of taillamps Location of ID-tag on A-pillar Emission control device for petrol engines only Radio with different frequency steps when tuning to different radio stations 85 mph maximum speedometer with 55 mph prominently marked Tinted glass band across the top of front windscreen If passenger side external rear view mirror is included, the mirror must carry the warning:
