High bid on the 450 SL was only $8800 - failed to meet the reserve.  Prices
seem to be declining lately...

We have a New England restaurant run by New Englanders here, but I've never 
been able to figure out what their favorite food and/or snack food is other 
than some unusual pastries they bake.

A friend apparently decided to surprise him with that:

 I knew this car as the 2nd owner and I worked at the same place, and we used 
to kid him about his car. One day while returning home in Redding, he ran off 
the road and damaged the left front fender. He took the car home and put a tarp 
over it thinking he’d get it repaired, which didn’t happen before he was 
transferred down south. He knew I really liked the 120’s so he made me a deal 
to get the car. Unfortunately, during the years the tarp had blown off and the 
left window was partly down, allowing rain to get on the veneered dash panel 
and separation of the plywood happened. A woodworking friend was supposed to 
make an original Walnut dash, but came back with a beautiful Teak interior. 
That was in 1971 and the car was repainted and all the chrome was redone.
