[W126 Coupe] Getting ready to sell upgraded Black/Black 1989 560sec -- how much should I ask?

[Jonathan]

You mean just like this one;-)

Did you dial in more camber (!!) when you lowered your car???  These 
cars typically suffer from an excess of rear camber leading to the early 
demise of pricey (wide) rear tyres.

Who did the engine?  Any mods (pistons, cams, porting..?) while you were 
in there?

What exhaust/manifolds are you running?

Are your spacers bolted to the hub or do you have extra long lugs to 
reach through the spacer?
