Such rogue-ness!!!!!

Clean car but dealer spiffed also. I love the "recent 60K Major service" line..... Yes, they capitalized the "M".....

Nice 85 but almost looks like a repaint. I would rather find the same 60K car that wasn`t preped to see it aunatural.

Click on the guys Gallery, a couple good 123 racing videos.

It's you. There's a glare on the odo that might make it look like 660K, but close inspection shows 060K.

No price listed..."if ya have to ask...."

You would think, for that low of mileage, the guage pointers would not be faded.

That's a beauty for sure...does seem like a repaint though - I don't think I've ever seen a 123 with a perfect mirror finish like that. Wood looks amazing.

Holy Moly!! I guess that would be what "mint condition" looks like!

I would not care about a repaint if it looks that good. In fact... Now I cannot wait to repaint mine! DAMN!!

I think that's a time thing. Faded from time in the sun.

Also notice that the rear seats have started to slightly fade(pinkamino), and the green cross on the first aid kit lid is gone.

It is a very nice car, but I think that there are many more that are just as nice.
