@sleezybeezyHa, I can't imagine a blacker wagon then a 95 black on black, that's why it's been called the murder wagon (check the front plate). Good luck and thanks for the bid!
@jayboundless1Please refer to CoffeeKing54's comment/answer. As far as the event in 2009, I cannot speak much to it. What I can tell you is that I have had the entire interior, dash included, out, and the entire underbody, brake lines, suspension, etc. out and I didn't find any signs of a serious flood at all. Regardless, all underbody issues have been addressed, rust proofed and undercoated and the entire interior wiring checked, cleaned, and dynamatted (sound deadening).
@LWB250 It is not a "salvage" title, it has been rebuilt and passed inspection for that, there is a difference between the two. The title has been in a rebuilt status since 2010. And to clarify, the 109k is accurate as in prior to me restoring things, the reading on the actual odometer is correct and accurate to the chassis. It has since been driven roughly ~500mi with the new gearing, which was switched between the stock 2.65 to the 3.06, though in my highway testing using mile markers, is still very close. There is a speedometer with the correct gearing that comes with the sale, but want to leave that up to the new owner to swap odometers. If you mean "Frankenstein's Monster," it sure is fitting for the season - but other than the stereo, all items have been replaced with genuine and OE parts, the diff and Sportline steering box are all from period-correct Mercedes as are the genuine Lorinser spoiler and Nardi wheel. As mentioned in another comment, I'd be hard-pressed to find any better shape W124, regardless of carfax history than this. To the right enthusiast, a carfax alone is not the true sign of a quality vehicle and I think the work done on this wagon shows that - let alone finding another wagon with a Quaife LSD and the quickest ratio Sportline steering gear.
@CoffeeKing54None at all. The entire dash, headliner, carpet and interior was removed to inspect and could not find any actual signs of water damage at all. It spending time in the Midwest, it had typical surface rust on the original rear subframe (which was replaced with a different one and recoated) and some of the suspension components, which were also all replaced. The entire underbody was cleaned, rust-proofed and undercoated. The interior carpet was all cleaned as well while it was out. No issues on the door cards, dash, interior or underbody. All the interior wiring and grounds were checked and cleaned up as well. If it wasn't for the carfax, you would never been able to tell it was marked as a flood car. Over the handful of W124's I've owned over the years, I've seen far worse from clean carfax low owner cars, ha. Not all of the photos were able to be placed on the auction gallery, so please see the link at the bottom of the listing to see more photos of the interior while it was out and underbody photos.
@gsxrHey Dave...correct. ASR defeat switch has been done by placing a switch on pins 31 & 34 (per Elvind's post on http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/mercedes-benz-performance-paddock/55692-diy-asr-defeat-switch-17.html). ABS is currently disabled. You'll also probably like to know after some sleuthing around, the LSD and I believe the Sportline box came from Ortolan's Turbo Technics build (if I recall, they went from him, somehow to Dave H out in CT, where I went and picked them up along with Crelean's Recaro seats).
@jayboundless1Yes, they do. I just specify that because I've seen a lot of W124's where the A/C specifically doesn't go through the center vents. The entire HVAC system works as it should and holds its charge.
