Selling My Baby

Well guys I think I'm going to sell my baby. I'm pretty much done modding and doing everything I possibly can with her. She's been my pride & joy, I hate to let her go but I want to move on to my next project. There's absolutley nothing wrong with her, she's in mint showroom condition in & out, those of you who've seen her in person can vouch for that. Mechanically & visually she's a 10. I spared no expense, I know I can never re-coupe the love & $$$ I put in her but there's no room. I want her to go to a good home. Who ever get's her is going to be one happy camper. I've been itching to move on to my next project. I want to start on a Porsche Strosek 911. Those were my 2 passions W124 & 911. SInce I've accomplished one I think it's time to move on to the next. Accepting serious offers only...

I'm running 18x8.5's on stretched 215/40's 35eta. You won't find these rims anywhere. I had the rims taken apart lips & nipples chromed , face powdercoated to match at a cost of almost $3k. Not one scratch or curb rash on any of them. Tires have about 50miles on them. No butterflying I had a set of powdercoated rear camber arms installed.

I believe the color is called Pearl Blk. I just had it repainted as you can see from the pics the paint job is immaculate no drips, runs or waves.. At $4g's it better be...

The rear spoiler is from Zender......

I'll take pics of the engine bay when I get a chance. It's so clean you can eat off it. Engine also has powdercoated custom made Uber strut bar, Optima blue top battery and painted valve cover. New tune up with new wires, plugs, cap & rotor.Motor is in perfect running showroom condition with low miles 100k. Almost forgot, one thing I have to finish is the interior even though it's in perfect condition as you can see from the pics. I'm having the whole inteior re-done in Alcantara suede. I don't have to since I'm planning on selling her, but I like to see my project finished to the end. Like I said I really babied this car, I intended to show at HIN this Dec. So whoever picks this car up doesn't need to do a thing to it.
