With a really long story to go with it.

Oh, baby! Look at that thing!

...but...as much as I love 140s, when you look underneath they're not much different from a 122. They look so much more modern, but they're mechanically almost the same car.

Nice West Coast resident, and closer to the original concept of the auction site - aside from not needing a trailer.
Just listed and already getting some action. The under pics drive me nuts.

Looks like a pretty honest example, not a lot of action yet.

This one made $40k, so the Dealer made a couple grand for his oil change.
