Re: [MBZ] 124 Tires

Pick up some 15 hole r129 spares on ebay. They are usually like new and you can get a full set of 5 reasonably if you make some offers. They are 7" instead of 6" so it opens up more tire width options. The 7" does not fit into the trunk well perfectly, so you can keep a 6" spare wheel if you want.

Stock wheels are easily worth $1000-$1500. Evaporator failures in the facelift models are rare, so it’s likely a problem elsewhere like a compressor. Convertible top isn’t bad to DIY but does take some skill. I say "rolling restoration”. -D > On Sep 6, 2023, at 8:36 AM, Donald Snook via

Seems like that could be a decent deal ONLY if the buyer has some skills. A/C and convertible top could be big money. Aren’t these wheels worth a lot? It would be a shame to part it out, but there’s definitely more than $4500 in value. Donald H. Snook > On Sep 6, 2023, at 10:02 AM,
