This is the sort of vehicle that I believed only existed in my dreams. What you’re looking at is a damn-near perfect 1979 Mercedes-Benz wagon. It’s of the S123 generation of vehicles, finished here in beautiful black paint over black Penta wheels. The real trick, however, sits under the hood. Someone once dished out serious bucks to convert this longroof to a 500TE AMG. That means you can lift the hood to find a healthy 5.0-liter V8, likely the M117 engine.
RM Sotheby’s is auctioning off this amazing wagon as part of its vast Youngtimer’s collection. On April 11th, 2019, the event kicks off at the Essen Techno-Classica show in Germany.
