$75,000 w123 diesel convertible: Eagle-Co struck gold!
 
Some of you make think its a typo, really $7,495, but I dont think so. Look at their inventory. Perhaps this is the most expensive W123 ever! I wonder what justifies the price; could this be super rare factory job?

Just kidding.

Think I've seen it before...
 
...one of our eagle-eyed friends here can verify for us - did I see it on e bay? I'm thinking the factory didn't do a CD convertible but there were some customizers back then that did some?

That's a pretty car but not $75K worth of pretty. I've overspent on a couple of mine but not by that much... their inventory seems to be geared to the kind of owner who doesn't know a wrench from a valet key...

Cheers,
Kevin

Anybody can come up with a ridiculous asking price. Doesn't mean somebody will pay it......

very true

I really hope they meant $7,450; I'm tempted to call and ask.

someone tampered with the cluster.. that is not an OG cluster


for about 10k less I can get a fairly nice Porsche from the same dealer.. mosdef a typo


I didn't notice the convertible top... pretty cool.. but not the price

You can buy a lower miles CD for $20K and have ASC turn it into a cabrio for $50K.

And we thought a 617 was loud enough with all the windows up..........
:P

turbobenz 01-25-2008 02:37 AM

I roll my windows down so I CAN here the engine. I love that noise!

Is that steering wheel made out of wood?

Some of us dig the noise! :D

Just out of curiosity I see that you sold an '01 Excursion diesel and bought a new gas Suburban. Did problems with the Excursion lead to that decision or was it just time to replace it? (I've been considering a diesel Ex)

My CD has the same cluster... isn't the 85 speedometer to comply with federal law?

JimmyL 01-25-2008 09:15 AM

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.....

Geez, had I known I would have scooped that roadster right out from underneath him. :) (It was right in my "back yard")
