It's a U.S. spec speedo with miles on the outside and km/hr on the inside. Good call on the possible odometer fraud.

There isn't a W126 in the world that I would pay $17,000 for. This one is nice, but I still don't see it going for more than six at the most, based on 126 prices I've seen in my area.
