	I don't ned it daily now but when I get good and physical with the  
work it helps a lot. I use it as preventative maintenance at those  
times. Being sedentary is worse than keeping moving in my case any way.

[MBZ] '72 350SL

2006-06-07 Thread Bob Rentfro
Hey you 107 boys! The is an old fella who has a '72 350SL that runs just fine 
(has been under a car cover in the drive for 10 months because he has been 
rehabilitating from a stroke), has 78K on the clock, both tops and he wants 
$1500.
When I go look at it later, what are the big things should I look closely at 
that, if bad, should make me run away?

He also has something else in his carport under a cover...I think it's a '70 
250SE. But that's been there a spell (I've been casing the joint).

Let me know soon.

I got my $200 coil spring compressor in and it works like a champ. Was
very
easy to compress front coils springs and it seemed very stable (safe).

	Let me know if you're just tire-kicking and don't intend to buy  
either car. Handsome finder's fee to you. I'm due for another

'72 350SL that runs just fine... has 78K on the clock, both tops
and he wants $1500.


Rust.  Big killer on those.  Everything else is sort of normal
MB stuff.  Oh, and the soft top condition matters, as a new one
is kind of spendy.  Though there are those of us who care little,
since that top is up so rarely!

So rust, paint, and ominous engine noises are bad.  But for the
price, if you can't see the ground through the floorboards, it
looks presentable and it runs, I'd say go for it!

Do not expect particularly good mileage, though.  And beware of
leaky D-Jet hoses, those can cause fires so I hear.
