» I have come across a very unique W123 a 1979 wagon
»
» The sum of options found on this wagon makes it so unique and it just may
» have stopped by AMG before arriving in North America.
»
» The list of option begins with a very early tuned M117 5.0L engine,
» complete with AMG tubular steel headers and downpipes. A 4 speed automatic
» is installed, mated to a limited slip rear differential. Lastly, the
» stamped steal rear suspension made way for a cast aluminum anti-dive
» system.
»
» The list of other options include:
»
» Full AMG Body Kit
» Recaro Ideal C seats
» Sport Suspension
» Euro bumpers
» Euro headlights
» Independent Transmission and Engine oil coolers
»
» Any thoughts, feedback and insight is always appreciated. Thank you.

Quick update. The wagon has been to body and paint, returned home and I\'ve since assembled much of the exterior and interior. Just a few more items and I can consider this project done.
