I still have a 126 SD but I think the 123 TD was my favorite car. Great
style, a good size, very versatile, AND very easy to maintain. Mine had the
ACC I, which wasn't great, but most of it was bullet-proof or easy to
diagnose and fix. Unfortunately, nine (79 model) was prone to rust. A
pitty.
A resounding YES , for myself. If there were a new production 123, built
to original standards and supported for the next 30 years by parts.. I
would buy it in a New York Minute..
Imagine being able to buy a car that you know is completely proven to last
30+ years, give good service for the inves

I'd like to order an OM603 powered 300TD.
I'd like to order _two_ S124 300TD, _with_ 4wd please. That
car I'd even consider buying new, if it wasn't crapped up
with keyless entry, bootoof, touch screens, etc.

W123 is just fine and proven for 5 years of production with OM616.
The objective remains - KISS, 3-pedal.

Having seen how some guys jack up a VW Golf slightly, put on bigger tires and a
limited slip diff I'd LOVE to have an AWD S123, slightly lifted, limited slip
diff. Put a tow hitch on and I'd never have a pickup truck again.
So, all you want is a 124 engine and 210 4matic
I have often wished I could put my OM 602 & 124 suspension in my 123. As it
is I have best of both worlds for now. I Enjoy driving MY 124 OM602 &
looking AT MY 123 coupe driveway queen. ..

Nope.
No S-class and OM6xx engine, period.
Turbo and 3-pedal have gotten together sooo very seldom over the years
it seems inconceivable. NA is just fine for
IIRC, turbo and 3 pedal got together plenty around the rest of the world,
just not imported here. Turbo is well worth it - NA sucks (pun intended).

If you put a 617 turbo in a 240D four speed, would the transmission,
drive shaft, differential hold up? Is that what Craig has?
