I'll post pics as soon as it's washed and waxed. Paint is great w no fading whatsoever. There are the occasional dings, and the passenger door has a quarter sized dent. Probably from a grocery cart or something.

Call me with questions, 469-955-5992, or pm me. I have the car in the shop to get a slight miss taken care of, then I'm parking it until it sells.

Make me an offer, clear title in hand. I'll also consider trade if you have old American muscle (Nova, SWB pickup, Chevelle, Firebird, etc.)

I just drove a 1991 560 SEl for a few days while the Indy was rebuilding my tranny in the SEC. I absolutely fell in love with that car. it was White with Palomino interior and it was exquisite. 217,000 garage kept miles. everything worked and absolute jewel.

I'm sure your's is every bit as nice. I didn't want to give the car back. I wish I had the space and the bucks.

You know, it's a badass car and I love the M117, it sounds so good behind the firewall when you really stomp on it.

However, I like the versatility of musclecars, and if I'm going to be working on something all the time, I'd rather build a vehicle that will appreciate in value....I realized the other night that no matter how much time and money I put into my 126, it'll will only be for me. I'm 25 years old and this for sure is not my last car, and I figure I'll let it go before my spending gets out of hand.
