Wow, I didn't think that the US spec cars really came in that color, I know that the Euro spec cars came in that color...

Has it occured to anyone else how odd it is that we prize and covet(most of us it seems) the LESS optioned cars? No auto, no auto climate stuff, no this, not that, no leather, etc, etc. Strange how down the road a car is worth more because it's not as well optioned..

Just Euro envy? Are there guys in Germany trying to find an early 80's lincoln with no leather, no climate control.. etc, etc?

Ok bad example..

By our nature (diesel guys) we like our cars simple and reliable. Less is more. Plus all these nifty euro features makes your car even rarer than the standard US 123. I for one absolutely adrore euro cars, not only for thier unique options but thier history and rarity.

I find it wierd that the euro 300D I'm looking at came with manual windows but a power sunroof.. who would order such an option?

There must be a German or Brit looking for an AMC Gremlin.

No wonder they din't have an engine shot since it's a "2 - Cyl."
Forget 0-60, what would be it's 0-10 time?

That green is a rare color. I like it. I think I'm being bias though because my car is the same color, outside, but a darker green on the inside.

It really is a nice looking car.. Dunno how you keep one so nice so long and actually still putt 40K miles on it...

Think they'll get $15K for it?

No, they aren't trying to find a bottom-end Lincoln but I can tell you for a fact that they covet the loaded USA versions of these 123s. My Polish friend couldn't believe that I was planning on removing the automatic transmission from my wagon.
