Driving home today in the west San Fernando Valley (SoCal) and crossing the intersection while I was waiting for the light was an early '80's vintage 123 which was a pickup behind the front doors. Looked as though made that way, but I assume it was a conversion?

A car exactly like the one you describe was available on e-bay a little while ago...I'm guessing it was the same car, as there aren't a whole lot of 123 pickups around. It was a conversion. But as I recall it was in Florida, so I guess it could be a different vehicle...but then again, if you really want a 123 pickup, I guess you'd have to be willing to travel to get it.

The indie shop at the corner of Winetica (sp) and Roscoe has one, it's blue I think.

I think the one I saw on e-bay was silver. Could it be that there is more than one w123 pickup?

I've seen like three on e-bay in the past year or so. All different colors, all different locations.
