Owner is now gambling with a No Reserve listing on BaHaT. Methinks he should have taken the $19k and run, but I guess we'll see how it goes.

Looks like a sweet car, pity it's lacking bun warmers. At least it has ASR, memory driver seat, and headlight wipers.

I wouldn’t be selling anything classic if I didn’t have to in this current market. We are definitely in correction territory and it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

weird- i thought all sportlines came with 16" rims. Was that a Euro only thing?

Yup. North American Sportlines all have 15x7.0 wheels from the factory. And, we did not get the wagons offered in Sportline trim over here... nor the .034, which was silly. Europe got larger wheels, larger brakes, and Sportline offered on pretty much everything except V124 LWB's and possibly 4Matics.

@gsxr,
I was under the assumption that 15" sportline wheels were wider than 7.0? No?

Nope. Standard 124 wheels were 6.5 wide with 195/65 rubbers, Sportline was 7.0 with 205/60. Very much under-tired if you enjoy lateral G's.

Very clean car.

Shoot me but I think Zebrano looks far classier than Burl Walnut, especially with lighter interiors. Burl strikes me as quite, dare I say, retirement home.

no reserve is going to screw the seller unfortunately, did they leave this car outside on grass or something or do we just treat our cars differently

i think dry icing would zerp all that off
