question about W123 hood hinges
On the W123 models, are all the hood hinges the same across the board, from coupe to sedan to wagon? Or are they unique to their own specific model? I need some to replace the ones in my 1978 300CD. Thanks.

I do not believe the metal is the same to a coupe vs the rest of the models.
front grille may be the same, but the fenders are different, as well as the hood, IIRC... the hinges should be the same. you could pull yours, and post a pic of it here, and we could post a comparison with a ruler in the background...

From what I have read and seen in the yards, the coupe Dash Board forward is all the same. the windshield, Roof line, back glass, deck lid, rear quarters, doors and seats, are all coupe specific.
The Hood Hinges should be the same. Charlie

Fenders
I am quite certain that sedan and coupe w123 front fenders are different.
It's a minor variance, having to do (if I recall correctly) with the contour of the leading edge of the coupe doors having a different profile.

Oh sorry I forgot to say the Russian EPC doesn't list all the part numbers for the hood hinges (it is a stripped down racing snake not the real thing). So I can't help the OP.

My hood hinges were destroyed in an unfortunate accident wherein some fuggin guy didnt latch the hood correctly & it opened on the freeway at speed. I bought the car from him and am in the process of piecing it back together. Amazingly, the hood appears to have survived the incident relatively unscathed. Sadly, the same cannot be said for the windshield, with its crazy "gasket/seal" that costs more than the windshield itself! Anyway, so I'm needing some hood hinges for a W123. VSTech PM me if you have any you'd like to sell. I know you're a busy guy, but it'd be cool if you could make your girlfriend/wife/little sister/personal slave get them to UPS to ship to me in Arizona.

Best get some WD40 or Liquid Wrench on those old hinges to help free them while-you-wait. I had the same issue and mine are rust welded to the sheet metal.
Army had some troubles with hinges a while back - had to drill em I think.

The hinges and levers are the same on just about all 123's in America.

77-81 has a short hook, and pin mount, while the 82-85 has a LONG hook and bolt mount... be wary of where ye get the hinges from!
