Well, I got a text back from the guy.  He decided to hold on to the not free 
stuff, and I picked up the rest.   Some of it garbage, but there is a Hella 
euro headlamp in adequate condition.  There is other stuff that is covered in 
oil, which I will need to cleanse before I can put in the parts area.  We had 
snow and cold overnight and will not be able to play with the hose for a few 
days.

Re: [MBZ] CL idiot

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

The demographics for our group cut across a wide swath of socioeconomics.  You 
would see people asking for clothing and stuff on a regular basis, but I had to 
put a stop to a lot of it, mainly because people would not make specific 
requests.  If you’re not familiar with FreeCycle, one of the tenets is to ask 
for specific items, not make a general request for something like “household 
goods” or “anything you can spare”.  This ends up having people try and turn 
the place into a charity, which is not the intent.

It was clear there were some who would try to get things just to resell them, 
which is also a no-no.  Same thing with pets. Most groups ban the FreeCycling 
of animals for this reason. Our group did the same, after a member was caught 
trying to sell puppies they had gotten (for free) from another member.

FREECYCLE in my area is very picky.  Folks ask for specific items and
emphasize that whatever they get MUST be in excellent condition.

And there is some great stuff on offers.  I got a waffle maker.  I also
gave away a breadmaker and juicer.

I like when there is an ask for a high end item.   As if somebody is going to 
willingly part with a new laptop or other pretty recent item.   I guess it 
never hurts to try, but I have not seen anybody actually respond.

I got many things from the Los Alamos freecycle group and gave many
things away. It is a good group.

Santa Fe, and particularly Albuquerque, are not-quite-so-good groups.

It helps to have an affluent community ...

FreeCycle used to be a good place to get stuff.  I was the local group admin 
and everyone was on moderation, so I got to see the offerings first.  For the 
most part I didn’t jump on stuff before it posted, but I will admit to doing it 
a couple of times.  One time was for an i7 processor, 12GB of RAM, a couple of 
optical drives and some other computer stuff.  The offerer was a hard core 
gamer and this was "old stuff” for him.

Got a really nice shop vac that hangs in a rack on the wall with all the 
attachments.  Didn’t snipe that one, jut saw it come across and offered to take 
it.  Everyone else must have been sleeping.

Got a bread maker, too.

After a few years it just got to be junky stuff.  I bailed after being a group 
mod for 5 years.  I did my time.

Re: [MBZ] CL idiot of the week

[Michael Canfield]

One of the worst cars I ever made the mistake of buying came from Tampa.
Red, 2 door delta 88.  Sharp looking car, ran and drove perfect.  Should
have looked under it better.  That thing was like Swiss cheese everywhere
underneath.  Had to sell it off for a parts car when suspension parts
started to rust off from it.

Yugos are rare now, but doesn't mean they are desirable. There has to
be something else to make it desirable. The SLC just isn't as cute as

I disagree.  The styling of the SL C is very unusual, whike the W107
SL is humdrum. The SL C is not for everyone, but there will be enough
afficionados around who appreciate it.

Re: [MBZ] CL idiot of the week

[OK Don]

I guess I like the nostalgic look of the pagoda-like roof on the SL's
hardtop. I keep scheming for ways to get that on the SLC. Luckily, I sold
it before getting the torch and hammers out. The hardtop welded onto the SL
would be my ultimate 107 (with an OM603 engine).

Re: [MBZ] CL idiot of the week

[Jim Cathey]

I'm with you Andrew. I don't really want a convertible.


So leave the hardtop on.  The SL, top-on, is a nice little coupe.
Had a girlfriend once whose dream car was this.  Did _not_ want
the SLC, said it just didn't look the same.  Would _never_ have
taken the top off.  (Ended up with a Z4, as I recall.)

No need to weld it on, it's pretty secure with the five locks.

The same as the 220D.  

The bigger issue is finding somebody with that sort of patience and pocket book 
deep enough to keep it that pristine.  A greater probability is that it ends up 
a barn find in thirty years and happens to be the only one within 2500km

Re: [MBZ] CL idiot of the week

Maybe.

I put money on the SL owners being willing to pay for a reasonable example of a 
SLC to use as parts over somebody plunking down hard cash to then have to pay 
five times purchase price to sort it out.

Re: [MBZ] CL idiot of the week

[clay monroe]

There are so darn many of the R107 that the amount of cash required to make 
this one a viable driver is a multiple of the value of the car.

Though fewer SLC were made, the model is not desirable for a collector or 
normal buyer.  They rot out and are not cared for because they are a lesser 
version.  The rear seat is no more useful than the package shelf in the SL, so 
not able to carry passengers.  Did I mention they rust out?  Bad

M117 is not the simple engine to work on the way a OM engine is.  Being a V 
engine you have to double work to keep it running.  Dual head shop time, so 
twice as much $$.   Mechanicals need to be sourced from a W116, which is more 
valuable in good condition than the SLC.   You would still need to send the 
engine out for work.

About the only way an SLC would have value in the condition this one is, would 
to be the ultra rare 5.0 engine of 78-80.

There is so much inventory of actual running cars available, a dead one is 
pretty much a parts car.  The K-jet parts will be useful in the 380 as well as 
the 560, which are both better cars than the 1980 107.   Since the car is a 
mess of 114/116 body parts and the newer SE engines are probably a better swap 
in, bothering to keep this car pure renders this a worthless parts car.

You could order leather as an option, as you could cloth as well.  If I recall, 
it did add some time to delivery, since neither was a stock option for the US 
spec cars, I believe.

When my Dad ordered his 81 380SL, I remember them giving him the choices, but 
discouraging him from ordering them.

Wide World Motors in Indianapolis. I believe they are still the MB stealer ship 
in Indy.

Re: [MBZ] CL Idiot not your daddys 380 450 500

[G Mann]

Last seen by a dealers authorized mechanic on the day it was sold. Paint
given special care daily. Always parked in the shade under a tree. Only
driven at night in pursuit of business. Slight tear in seat from normal
sidearm wear. Extra storage built into upholstery for money and
product. No offer refused, need bail money now.
;),, sorry.. just couldn't resist

Actually, with a few thousand dollars in a total frame off restoration, it
might be someones dream

Re: [MBZ] CL idiot of the week- PNW Edition

[clay monroe]

Nope.  I am not going to waste good cash on a turd like that car.  The fellow 
has no clue as to the value of his rust heap.  I looked at a number of cars in 
the past five months and I saw what the water does to them.  One fellow had a 
running example that was surely a flood car.  Rust everywhere, corrosion on all 
parts that could corrode.  Interior was shot.  Flood car will percolate for the 
next three months until summer arrives, then bake the decay in deep.  There is 
no saving the car, but to strip it completely and rebuild.  107 is not that 
rare a person should bother.  Unless of course somebody famous passed on inside 
it while eating fried bologna, banana and peanut butter sandwhich.

The w113 is a bit more desirable than the r107.   Granted his price is high for 
a tear down restorable.  It is not a 300sl from 1963, but maybe you break even 
pouring $30k into it.

Re: [MBZ] CL idiot of the day

[andrew strasfogel]

When we first began to purchase used Mercedes in northern VA and then
suburban MD, it seemed like 90 percent of the sellers were Iranians.  I
have a pretty good ear for their pronunciation and syntax, and this CL post
sounds like a literal spelling of Iranian-pronounced English.  What might
have happened is the guy wasn't fluent or confident in his written English
so he used Dragon naturally speaking (?) or similar software to generate
the text. I pass no judgment on his educational level as a lot of Iranians
were displaced professionals who emigrated to the US to escape the Khomeini
regine.

Further evidence the Department of Education has been enhanced with

child was left in class at advancement time regardless of course work or
class standing.

Spelling is now an elective class, with Ebonics being one of the accepted

Re: [MBZ] CL idiot of the day

[Rich Thomas]

I think ebonics is actually derived from Gullah, which was slave 
english (actually a hodgepodge of various languages/pronunciations, 
including African and European).  Most of my neighbors are Gullah, and 
speak Gullah, which sounds a lot like Jamaican English when they get 
going, but also seems to be the root of the ebonics that is prevalent 
all over the country.  I'm guessing it all started with the slaves here, 
who were the first to be brought to the US, from Barbados initially then 
Africa directly, and sorta spread with subsequent arrivees and the 
diaspora.  I am told it sorta developed as a general language everyone 
could communicate in using various bits of their own original languages.


This is all conjecture, not being a linguist, but being here in the 
midst of the mother tongue it sure seems like it.


I don't think the CL idiot was communicating in ebonics, he was probably 
just a dumbass.

What are the symptoms when one of them goes bad?  I have never had this
problem
in any of my dozen Benzes (W108, 109, 111, 114, 115, and 123).

Well the bushing going bad will show up as driveline vibrations or ver 
large disturbing rythmic whacking. The bearing usually sings or hums.


BTW that car is in Seattle. They pay 2X what we pay over here for old 
dieselers. That car is parts material at best.
