i am grateful for the generosity of forum members JB3 & Beeezy98102 that made the ownership experience possible. old blue is my second '85 w123 and with any luck, wont be my last
I am working with my friend Carlos in CA to collect W123 bodies in AZ and CA, where engines are gone. We'll make new from two.
Should I ask him about availability of cars/bodies?

My plan is a small fleet of perfect W123 240s with MT, possibly a 3.0l with MT for the old man, my stealth car....when I'm not driving the Citroen 2CV ---
