Woken by a knock on the door this morn

and a euro Sky Blue coupe was sitting in the drive-with a 5 speed.
The guy came from Houston for a near mint dash for it, I have another mint. This car was very nice with 16x8" ronals which I like better that amg penta spokes and obviously performance lowering springs

He was an ebay contact and was in a hurry-I didn't get the chance to ask him. I did however remind him that he was in Ass-Hat land and would get tickets sooner that he expected for the euro plates.

This car ran on the --other ---formulation of the Dino squeezins.
The yellow inner lights-could someone stick the US spec yellow lights in the euro bucket housings?

The entire bulb that exists in the US headlight configuration? I don't thinks so without some "hack" surgery!

Sometimes I wonder about my choice. Cars > women

If only I had more time and money I would make my car look like a European goddess!

Looks like he had a slight run in with a cement parking block. There is a bit of damage on the front fender thing (official name escapes me).

Yes that front fareing would have to give way to the other "Official" style, if it were mine----thats a WAYCOOL color.

That looks identical to the one on the Tulsa craigslist not long ago. Was it a recent purchase?

Yep, I think that this car was in the CL. Nice looking car. Reminds me that I need to pull my finger out and get my CE back on the road.

Some countries got yellow, others white. Possibly French lights?

w126's have a yellow plastic cover that overlays the H-3 bulb in some years. Perhaps that is what he has. I have in my garage a spoiler just like his- and it only fits w123's with a euro bumper. It appears to be a AMG clone- I just sold a AMG spoiler for a w116.

I've got the parts for it Al, but not for much longer-you need floor's? I gotta get the back yard cleared out to get back to my ancient trucks . This Benz tangent buiz has got to stop!

I have to disagree-it is much different than the AMG ones-of which there are at least two-three variations, one of them has the unacceptable 3/4" gaps under the bumper ends like this does but they are all different shaped and the front doesn't jutt out as much at the bottom front like this. This one had the makers name embossed at the lower right.
