85 speedos first off went up to a higher speed and second didn't have the silver button over the needle body. So, can't trust the mileage.....

The 1980-1982 W123s with 85mph speedometers did have the chrome dot in the middle.

I rather like the looks of it.

Take off a zero and the price is maybe not so bad.

I do think it's probably a typo. Surely no dealer would think the car is worth nearly $75K. ... If they do, then they'll be sitting on it a good, long while.
