I just cant seem to find the right one. I always get sooo close but its never perfect. For example just found a 91 SEC 6.0 Dohc with just under 40,000 Kilometers, in the color I want with most the options I want (I think it even has a refrigerator in the front). BUT it has the M119 :x :x

J-Auto is mega $$$ - guarantee that WB is over $100k. They have the best of the best and really specialize in W124 E500's or E60's, but have nice W126's as well.

Thats not just a M119, but a M117/9.

I'd hit it.

My lord, what a beautiful example. If I had the funds I would purchase it, and just keep it in humidity controlled storage for three years until it turns 25; then legally import it in. You are NOT going to find a better example than that. Close second would be the one found in Italy last month. But once again, waiting on the 25 year rule is the kicker.

Daniel is right - come 2015-2016, the 1990-1991 Japan widebodies will be quite the object of desire in the States, given the 25 year limit on EPA/DOT mods requirement. I am hoping I have a spare $50-75k or so to snag one for myself.
