[MBZ] Go for the Gold

[clay via Mercedes]

Figured I may as well bite the bullet and see how much goodness I could bestow 
upon Allen.

The hood pad arrived, so I had to get some 3M can of stick it up and stick that 
thing up.  I was pretty good about not coating myself and only had drips fall 
onto the pad.

After much contemplation of just how to get some paint onto the car, I am going 
to test Rustoleum.  It has been what has been being used to put primer and rust 
stop.  The gold in a can does not look like it should work, but after playing 
with the severely pitted under headlight bits, there was enough glaze and 
primer that should the gold paint look stupid, I can start over on those pieces.

The weather was saying it was going to be in the low 70’s today, but a massive 
thunder storm was going to show up this afternoon.  With that on the schedule, 
I decided to wet sand  the car with 600 and 800 grit to be prepared in case I 
get to paint.

[MBZ] Good Book

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

All the Gallant Men  by Donald Stratton with Ken Gire

It is the first book by a USS Arizona survivor

It is a new book.  The Gummit welfare bookstore here got it in Dec, 16.

Written by one of the 5 remaining survivors last year.

Got pitchurs in it too, so gummit employees can comprehend some of it.

I had a good friend who was on Ford Island at the time.  I never got 
squat from him about the inferno, other than he told me he was Army and 
on Ford Island.

I wonder what is reserve is.

If you need W114/W115 seats, you could drive up there, take the seats

Re: [MBZ] BAT

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I paid $49 to list, which was a promotional price in April only.  I think it’s 
$99 now.  At one time it was $250.

The high bidder pays a $250 minimum or 5% premium on the hammer price, and they 
get charged as soon as the auction closes. So if my 300D closes at $7,000, for 
example, the high bidder would be charged $350 when the hammer falls.  Maximum 
fee is $5,000 (5% of $100,000).

Note that to bid you must use a valid credit card, on which a hold is placed 
for the amount of the buyer’s fee when you place a bid.  So if you came in and 
bid $6,000 right now you would have a hold on your card for $300 until the 
auction ends.

Re: [MBZ] BAT

Understand that BAT allows people to contact you privately throughout the 
auction if they don’t want to ask questions in forum.  As a result of this 
there is a “hidden” aspect to the process that is only seen by myself and those 
who have been contacting me privately about the car, and there have been quite 
a few.

I suspect those who are staying in the shadows are waiting to bid at the end so 
as not to drive the price up.

Not an unlikely scenario.
I seem to recall a 123 going cheaper last year, I was sure it would go 
up at the end, but it didn't budge an inch. I got a jar of pepper 
jelly for being too optimistic, but less optimistic than anybody else 
here.

Re: [MBZ] BAT

Yeah, I might do that although it's pretty clear in the auction copy that the 
system is functional but not 100%.

My concern in getting too detailed is that some more discerning sellers might 
want to start picking nits, and that just leads to ugliness.  I don't have a 
problem answering any questions posed as truthfully as possible. I pride myself 
in being painfully honest in my descriptions so there are no questions on the 
buyer's part.  I've found that I'm typically far more critical than most, which 
ends up making the buyer happier as their expectations might be lower.

Re: [MBZ] BAT

I'm not going to get into tinkering with a virgin R12 system, as I don't have 
the tools to do it.  After several attempts I finally found an adapter that I 
could use with my R134a gauge set to check the low side pressure. I had one 
very old can of R12 on the shelf I used a piercing type can tapper to run it 
into the system, which did bring the temperature down slightly and reduced the 
bubbles in the sight glass.

Beyond that I'm not touching it.  If I had decided to keep the car I would have 
evacuated the system and replaced the R12 with "alternative" refrigerant and 
left it at that.

The system is intact and not leaking from what I can tell. I suspect the drop 
in refrigerant is due to the hoses becoming porous due to age, since these are 
original and not barrier style hoses.  This is the condition it was in when I 
purchased the car.

Rather than do something that would render the system nonfunctional or require 
additional repairs, I opted to leave well enough alone so the new owner has a 
point of reference to work from.

Dan - why don't you put some more color on the low refrigerant status,

Maybe pay for a re-charge?

Better yet, fix it, and watch the price get bid up even higher.  I'll bet

If true, this part reveals a truly frightening scam:

At one point, he met a friend for breakfast and had what he thought at 
the time was a panic attack, but what he now believes was a seizure 
caused by low blood sugar. His friend brought him home first so 
Terrance could take some anxiety medication. But that didn’t work, so 
his friend brought him to the ER.


When they asked Terrance if he had suicidal thoughts, he answered 
truthfully and plainly: of course he thought about suicide, but he 
didn’t have any serious plans to do it. The personnel at the ER 
reacted swiftly.


“They put me on a 72-hour psych hold and sent me to a psychiatric 
hospital, which I’ll tell you is much worse than prison. They don’t 
want you to leave,” Terrance told me. “If you have good insurance, 
they want to keep you there. So after my 72-hour hold was up, they 
asked me to commit myself voluntarily. And when I refused to do that, 
they got a judge’s order to keep me locked up.”

I think they're all like that. My $100 no-name version definitely is. 
If you unscrew it completely, it extends to the safety stop, which does its job 
by keeping it from flying apart, and now it's so long the screw doesn't reach 
until you take the spring off it and retract it slightly.

Re: [MBZ] Spring Compressor

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I'm not sure what brand this thing is but it works fine enough except 
that when it bottoms out it won't catch the screw.  I found that out 
when I removed a spring from the SD and let off the compression, it was 
not quite enough travel so bottomed out and there was still some 
compression, could not retighten it.  Had to go to FLAPS and borrow 
their strut compressors, the kind that go on the outside, and compress 
the spring just enough to get the device out of the spring.


If you want to borrow it I guess i could send it along, it is heavy so 
shipping both ways might be a lot.

Re: [MBZ] Hey Andrew!

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Ouch!

As I have stated previously, I learned my lesson years ago when I bought a 1971 
VW Beetle convertible for $400 that became a "finish it or lose your ass" 
project that cost me easily $10k.  I figured it would cost me half that, which 
I was prepared for. What I wasn't prepared for were the subcontracted costs 
that I couldn't stop once the process began that went out of control.

At that time I was at a point of no return. To stop would have meant trying to 
sell a partially restored car, a near impossibility with a huge loss.  I had no 
choice but to continue.  Understand that this predated the Internet as we know 
it today - this was the late 1980s, early 90s. No eBay or BAT to sell the car 
to a highly focused group of enthusiasts.

Ever since that occurred I have always bought the very best example of the car 
I could afford. It's far, far cheaper in the long run, believe me.

As for Kaleb's back forty, I just think he's a hoarder and his item of choice 
is old Mercedes..

Without knowing more I think the price is high. You're also at a point in the

like a timing chain.

Does it have the rear power seats?

Re: [MBZ] Hey Andrew!

These are valid questions, for sure.  I assume you can go to the next bidder in 
line.

I have to believe that BAT would ban anyone who knowingly backs out of a 
transaction, but I don't know that for a fact. They make it very clear in their 
terms that their involvement is strictly the providing of an auction venue and 
the process itself, and that they have nothing to do with the actual 
transaction.

I also suspect that there would be some form of public shaming if such an issue 
came up.  It's a pretty tight community, and there are a lot of users whose 
handles I recognize as regulars. I'm not sure how the word would get around, 
but I suspect it would somehow.

I found a 1987 Mercedes 560 SEL with 167,900 miles on in Ann Arbor, MI. It has 
the foot rests in the back!  
Any thing in particular I should be looking for?

One spot of rust on left rear wheel well. Dark blue leather in pretty good 
shape. Wood is mediocre and dash has a few cracks. 
He's asking $3500.00. 
What is a reasonable price?

thanks,
Mike
