Re: [MBZ] Rear sub frame mount in 107 SL
Speaking of SLCs, will they ever be valuable? Certainly the supply is shrinking radically due to rust and the indifference of the buying public. Still, the time will come when a good example of this model will fetch a pretty penny (although perhaps not in our lifetime). Anyone been checking prices lately for these cars?

Re: [MBZ] Rear sub frame mount in 107 SL
Based on number made, there is no probable value in them. They do not have the cachet of a convertible, are more GT than babe mobile, and as you state, just not that in demand, so are being allowed to rust away. I would think that if it were a really rare model, such as the 5 liter 1979 450slc, it might fetch a good fee in twenty years. Or AMG. Even the 107 drop top is over represented with the 280/380/420/500/560 and 18 years of production. I would expect a gray market euro to be more valuable than DOT models. For some reason there is a flood of 380sl on the local market. Did they really import that many more proportionally than the 450 or 560? I also am expecting that prices will be very attuned to geography. If you are in Georgia, the car must be made of platinum and valued at market rate for the metal. For some reason Georgia cars on fleabay are stupid prices. clay On Apr 9, 2012, at 9:34 AM, andrew strasfogel wrote: Speaking of SLCs, will they ever be valuable?

Re: [MBZ] Rear sub frame mount in 107 SL
Maybe. IF it leaks, there is bound to be rust. I am find that the bay area SL, even if it lived in Seattle for a number or years, has horrible rust issue. Maybe having the pads glued down discouraged owners from looking under them and this allowed water to pool and feed tin worm. I would expect the same lack of attention to affect the mid atlantic and southern cars equally. clay On Apr 9, 2012, at 6:39 PM, Allan Streib wrote: clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net writes: For some reason Georgia cars on fleabay are stupid prices.
