So I bought the Koenig 300CE Widebody..
Had seen this car over the years and there was never much information about it available, let alone good pictures. Once I spoke with the current owner, I got very comfortable and bought the car. I was pleasantly surprised to see its condition, but more pleasantly surprised to see actually how wide this car is. I have a widebody 911 and this 300CE is about 1.25 times wider, maybe more. Pictures likely do not show the dimensions as well as in person.
The car has Eibach springs and sway bars, but looks like factory shocks, along with OZ 3 piece wheels. Everything else mechanically is factory. 255/40/17 on front, 315/45/17 on rear. The rear fenders have about 1.5 inches of further clearance for wider wheels/tires, which tells you how wide the rear is.
Interior is like new, leather well taken care of. Cell phone still powers up, all windows/lights work.
The car need to be filled up with fresh fuel and driven, as it has not been truly driven in a few years. Before I got the car, it had a fresh oil change and tune up. Drove it around town today and it has a slight hesitation upon take-off from a full stop, so I think that is likely fuel related.
I know, the yellow graphic is odd, but it is painted on. If it were a daily driver I'd have it painted over, but as a weekend/summer car, I may leave it as is. It surely gets attention.
Anyway, here are some pics!

Ex Ken Griffey?
If it is, it sold a few years ago for around $10K...
Painted in Seattle Mariner Northwest Green and Gold.
I have a few pix of it from when I looked at it...

Depends on the day
Yes, it is the same car. It actually never sold a few years ago. The 2nd owner (avid sports memorabilia collector) passed away a few years ago and it went to the estate. I bought it from the estate 'manager' who was a close relative. I have the last issued Illinois title from 1997.

I Bought the Car on an auction after an accident. Front Right fender is damaged and Needs to be made from scratch so it got totaled. So stupid how these things happen. I think Today The car should be worth way more as w124's really went up last 3 years.
