Sorry about that - I just get a summary in the morning, and saw all the subject lines. Never occurred to me that someone was spamming the for sale forum for a coupe. Duh. I’ll look more closely next time… Dan > On Jan 15, 2016, at 1:34 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes >

If I ever come across the right one, I seriously want a W123 coupe myself. Unfortunately they are getting far rarer in the shape to make them worthy of investment. EdB On Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 1:34 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I lusted for years for one. Got CD

That's the point. They are still too common to make it worth the cost of a full restoration. My ex SWMBO has a beautiful diamond blue/blue leather '85 300CD that was a little rusty but with a very nice interior. To make it perfect would have meant repaint + body work, plus it had 200K miles.
