Love these. Had my eye on a few before buying my 124 Coupe. That's rather interesting camber on the front wheels. Wide lens / viewing angle artifact, or what's the story?

I noticed that, too. I figured it must be something about the angle of the shot, but nothing else seems weird, so I wasn't sure.

These cars came from the factory with a good bit of positive camber and the control arms are non-adjustible. Don't know why they were designed that way -- perhaps due to being FWD???

That shot was also taken just a few days after I replaced the entire front suspension, including the rubber pads between the front spring and the upper control arms, so the car hadn't yet settled in and was sitting slightly higher than normal. But they all have some positive camber as you can see:
