It's the owners whose responsibility it is to see that the W123 is respected, and not trashed out AMC Ramblers, to the general population.

I kind of think not having the price of these cars go through the roof is a good thing. I've bought and sold a few manual 240s mainly because I love bringing a nice one back. There are rust free bodies out there with original paint under the grime and interiors without cracked dashs, that can be had cheap. IMO a low millage, rust free, well kept W123 is worth a bunch, but its nice too still be able too get a "plus beater" for around 1.5-2K.
