Also, as an aside, if the manual transmissions are suddenly selling to people who want to convert their automatics, I'd say you don't even have to keep the car stock. You say it is too nice to part out, well, maybe convert it to automatic, make sure it has a good serviceable engine, and then sell it *and* the manual parts and come out well ahead. That's all probably easier said than done, though, even for someone who works on old Mercedes all the time.
Hell, get it running really well and put it up on BaT-crap insane and get (blast now I can't remember who sold their car on there recently sorry) but get the guy that paid several thou for a 123 down to buy her. Be great fun for the entire family, or something. On Mon, Oct 9, 2017 at 10:16 AM, Ed Booher <edboo...@gmail.com> wrote: > If it is truly rust-less I'd pay $1K for it.
