Mercedes 1985 w123 230 TE

Recommended Posts

1985  Mercedes W123 230 TE Station Wagon. 
 225, 000 miles, not kilometres 

AS IS WHERE IS.

SPARES OR REPAIR.

Gave this car to a garage to sort out a few jobs for a warrant, they did the jobs then managed to sieze the engine.. After a couple of weeks with oil down the bores etc they managed to free the engine. Unfortunately, they totalled destroyed the engine doing so...

So it needs a replacement engine, Ive been talking to a guy who's got a good engine for $750.

Apart from the engine issue she's got a few bits of bodywork to sort out, nothing structural, mainly around the windows and front scuttle.. 

This car owes me $3500, I'm not putting any more money into it.

The price is $2500.

Be a pretty legit engine swap project, cool cars.

I had a lot of work done to her, new front shocks, lot of rear suspension work done, auto electrician sorted a lot of issues etc etc.. 

She was in a really sorry state when I bought her, apart from the engine she's pretty good now. 

Easy enough to drop another engine into her, even a LS and have a really cool cruiser. 

I would do the engine swap/conversion but my circumstances have changed and I'm off to work in Oz for a while , so don't need to start a project. 

She's a beautiful old girl who deserves to be saved.

Perfect to drop an M104 into, can get them pretty cheap too. Why is the garage not fronting the bill for engine replacement?
