nice car man,,,,,,, i gonna buy my moms friends when im 18(live in sweden, and in sweden we dont get licesn untill we are 18) but its black,,,, gonna buy it for aprox 1000 USD or 10,000 swedish kronor
Now here's a car with class. I've seen these cars go for less than five grand, which ain't bad for a Mercedes Benz. Too bad parts are more expensive than parts for my International Harvester pickup truck.
@PiranhaJaw22 okay you little bitch I'll be real clear, don't be dropping the N bomb because you're safe behind a computer screen. Besides, how does a black kid feel when he reads that. Dont say anything online you wouldn't say to a mans face. To prove the point I'll say this, you're another web-entitled pussy.
My Grandpa had a petrol blue one (Same as this colour?) with white hide interior, it was a 1988 model and I have fond memories as a child sitting in the back :] still can hear the distinctive two-tone beeping of the sony stereo system when powering on. Great cars, Gearbox Died at 183,000 miles in 1999 and is still, to this day sitting in a mercedes specialists breakers yard :[
My father and I have one of these. It has currently run 207.000 km. Its V8 is silky smooth, and when you need the 240 bhp, the kickdown function does its job perfectly. All the details and the high quality leather interior makes a lot of the car, but its as well the feeling you get when you drive it. It feels like an engineering masterpiece, and it really is. Each summer, we drive it from Norway to Kiel (Germany) to fix everything that needs to be fixed. We just had it painted in original color.
Get the Mercedes 16-ovals alloy wheels buddy, only those are the real deal for this ride. Otherwise great car, love the leather squeak it's louder than the hum of the V8 engine.
The first car I ever rode from the hospital :D If it's black, it would be like the mafia, and like "move over poor people!!" LOL!! Like Jeremy Clarkson said
Lovely car. Alloys are a bit tacky though, I'd go for something like the originals. Not too sure about the chrome on the wheel arches either - perhaps thats a New World thing? :D
*The mirrors have electronic adjustment* "Oh, my 1988 Jeep Cherokee Limited has that too. *electric head rest adjusts* :O ... Oh my god...That's some classy shit right there...
Thanks alot pal, you just HAD to post this video to remind me that I should've kept my 1986 420SEL that I just sold 4 months ago w/325K miles on it. Yeah buddy, I miss that car, but at $3.37 a gallon (in Orlando, FL.) I don't miss it THAT badly. The 126 chassis was a wonderful car. The limousine like space in the rear was amazing (and the car was shorter than a Deville or Towncar which had no leg room in the rear like this car did). To stomp on the accelerator to pass was like asking for warp 8!
Very nice, I had a 500SE in the mid 80s and I loved that car. Only car I ever liked more was my aunts 560SEC. Any of the S class back then was just perfection. You have a great example of some of the best cars Mercedes made. They dropped the ball for a while in the 90s. Hopefully they are dedicated to making the best cars in the world again.
I the long wheelbase Diesel version of one of these, The SDL. I had almost forgotten just how damn pretty the interior of these cars is. Mine was a joy, would go over 600 miles on a tank of Diesel, comfortable and sweet to ride in.
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
One W126 fan to another, the car looks really good. All you need to do is get rid of the little circular mirrors on your mirros and repaint the instrument cluster needles.
Hi, nice car! I am seeking one of those here in Argentina, a SE500, but I wonder about the fuel consumption, is that so high as people say. For instance, how much fuel you use when you run at 130km/h, around 70miles per hour. May you tell me please?

I'll hazard a guess that you have had a problem with people walking up to you and offering to buy your car from you while you're out and about with it.
John Gotti had a 500SEL. Rumor has it they could pack 5 to 6 bodies in the trunk. I have a 1985 500 SEL Euro from Lotar Machanbachar, the factory Mercedes racer, & the freekin' trunk is huge!
@jeffrey727 thats right! I remember one of the mafia guys had this exact same looking benz in early 90's, this is when everybody else was driving LADA and the best second car you could see was Ford Escort and we use to call them imports, cause nobody knew what it was! lol What a time it was, this Benz is a pure beauty in my eyes and I'm so happy that someone's still appreciate this beautiful classic! Long live to your car mate!
Lovely car, nice color...those must be Lorinser wheels which are now vintage themselves. I would remove the chrome wheelarch trim as it can be a rust magnet. I also see it is an airbag car, which I believe was standard in USA W126 from 84+. I once had a W126 300SE, great old car, similar color (DB355).
Gorgeous W126..........engine and transmission sound sweet.
However, please lose the bloody chrome wheel arches - they look awful (not to mention they trap moisure and cause the wheel arch metal to rot).
Would look better too with a set of the original '84 alloys - these are obtainable (and you could easily part exchange them).
I know it's all down to personal choice but I just believe that a Classic Merc will always looks better if left to the same specification as it left Stuttgart!
just listen to the sound of the door opening . it's just sublime . true mercedes-benz quality . the last car they made with the customer in mind not money
Quite. They weren't at all concerned about making money when they built this car; they were performing a public service, really. As a matter of fact, they gave cars away for free back then. Not very many people know that.
You are correct. The riveted plate on my door jam says "MFG by Daimler Benz AG, Stuttgart" but I believe that's the location of the headquarter, not the final assembly plant. Thanks.
Wow what a car!! I can assure you,if mercedes continued to make durable rugged cars like this one,they'd probably be out of business by now because these cars would last too long to replace.
Sorry for the late reply. I think you cannot use the newer style S-class rims because the offset is too extreme. I remember seeing some where in the BenzWorld forum a rule of thumb: any MB rims of offset ET25 or less will work nicely. For example: the original 15-hole s-class rims for the W126 is ET21.5 offset.
I had the 560 model of this car... MAN I miss it! For anyone who has not driven/ridden in one, you can easily do 80mph without knowing it on the highway. The ride is ridiculously smooth, the cabin is GORGEOUS, and it seems as though absolutely everything is there specifically for driver/passenger comfort.
thumbs up for the headrest!
