I was all ready to say "More likely the seller's confused and it's Tex" until I clicked on the link; those are indeed leather seats. Cool.

But it can't possibly have R129 wheels on it: the offset is totally wrong. Probably 16-inchers from a facelift 124.

Overpriced anyway in the current market. I have a SoCal-sourced 124 and while the lack of rust is nice, the sun damage to the plastic parts is amazing. I just tried to change the CHMSTL and the housing just crumbled like it was made of cheese. Luckily I have a parts car.

It definately is leather, didn't realize it was that rare in these 124's. At the moment it has OEM 124 wheels on it with new tires. In the past had a set of 129 wheels on it and still have them. That is correct that they are not the same offset, no doubt that best to stick with the OEM 124 wheels. Its easy to dump lots of $ into these cars. Even though it may be overpriced I have quite a bit more in it. It runs great, lots of power. Open to offers.

Too many cars so this is up for sale again. This is the link to the CR ad:

That isn't the same car at all...mispaste?
