Re: [MBZ] Maybe this convertible?

There is a dark blue 94 W124 convertible that's parked on the street by my office all the time. Looks like it's in good shape from a casual glance. I'm not keen about the W124 chassis looks, and when you add the ragtop it makes it even weirder, I think. Dan > On Nov 30, 2015, at 6:59 AM,

Re: [MBZ] Maybe this convertible?

I think this one is about a $750 car, if it were a sedan. The clearcoat is coming off badly on most of the horizontal surfaces, missing wheel center and as Mitch pointed out the missing antenna all point to a car that has been driven into the ground. Another issue is the trashed passenger seat

Re: [MBZ] Amazon & Mobil1

It's not Doktor Booth's M1 anymore, see Curly's post from last month or so. Group III base stock, not really true synthetic, but they are still charging you the full price. Last night I took a look at our local Wallyworld, the only weights for "Extended Performance" which may still be Group IV

Re: [MBZ] Calculators

I think I have one of those somewhere, it was sort of an ivory color and rounded like a mouse but bigger. I got it Christmas in like 1973 or so, if I recall they were about $100. I have one of those TIs with a card reader, I think I still have them both in a box somewhere. A coupla years
