To bad about the steering wheel wrap... and the chrome strips along the lower sides of the chassis. Don't look original to me. On Fri, Aug 5, 2022 at 10:19 AM dan penoff.com via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Very clean and appears to be quite solid. I don’t think the seat covers >

Very clean and appears to be quite solid. I don’t think the seat covers are original, as I don’t recall the side panels being a contrasting color. Heater boxes are almost completely gone, but that’s no surprise. -D > On Aug 5, 2022, at 10:13 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > Looks

I definitely don't need another car, running or not, and have no place to keep it, but for $1k it might be a decent deal.  That might not sway the seller though.  I'll keep an eye on it.  If he's smart he will flog it on other CL sites that might have more enthusiast interest. --FT On

It is a bit of a rustbucket and definitely needs a serious Martha’ing. However, if it’s viable as a running car, I bet I could drop $1000 getting it cleaned up and sell it for $4000-$5000. And since it’s not running I would also expect to pay less than the ask for it, too. Show up with a
