Octavagon FS - W123 LWB Oddity on Craigslist
 
FWIW, I used the search button and came up with no Octavagon, is that the right nomenclature?
Basically is a LWB modified 123 chassis, 1981, with a 240D and a stick shift tranny, sort of a LIMO looking car (boy I'd hate to parallel park this one!)
There is a strange second instrument cluster housing in the center of the dash.
See auto FS post I made today:

have talked to owner = SF BAY AREA
 
owner says that he will entertain offers ......... has been repainted from red to black ....... has some after market sunroofs mounted over back seat = manual??? ......... runs good = although slow and does either use or burn some oil ??? ....... does not want to try national marketing? ........ has half-oval type platform desk(in place of jumpseats) he used for office with an inverter still installed ........ says he has talked to a "collector" who facilitated a deal for one of these in the $15k neighborhood ........ my thoughts = would look cool with a flag at each front corner ......... nice enough guy ........ wants it to go away for $$$

Best I can tell, he's not having good luck with that...this isn't the first tiem I've seen this car posted on here.

It's a cool car, and would be especially so with a 617 turbo in place of the 616 :D but not worth it to me...

That thing's been on craigslist for at leas 6 months. From what I heard, it needs a new 616.
