Thanks! No, it was a dark blue originally, the paint was pretty atrocious and all the molding had started to come off so the original owner decided to use it to learn how to paint a car. I would love to put some bundt rims on it with some white-walls, it has the original bundt spare tire too. At least it has Mercedes rims on it though, I'm sure I'll be able to trade these. The grill also used to be perfect too, till some ass-hat rear ended me trying to park.
Saddly, the aesthetics are the least of my concerns, but it's great to have a W123 I paid $0 for that I can cut my teeth on under the hood.
