SICK! What is that color? Must be aftermarket. THIS CAR HAS NO VALUE. But I will give you $500 anyway since you are a decent fellow. On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 12:09 PM, Rich Thomas via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: It worked that time. It is the maroon colored car? I love that color.

Its been a while since I've driven an 1985 car powered by an OM617a... I never owned one, but I've driven several and was alway impressed. I always considered a 1985 W123 to be the most refined of the bunch, and therefore the most desirable. I've heard a few folks on the list here say they

I had an 84 that belonged to the son of a guy who was management in parts distribution at Montvale (MBUSA). It was a wicked car, and had tons of really nice updates and mods courtesy of the parts system. While a diesel coupe is not what most would consider a sporty car, with the ALDA tweak it

I could get rich moving cars that I can buy for 1-2k, then then to Jaime and let him sell them for 5-10k and give him a cut of the profit. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 7, 2015, at 4:06 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: ‎Kaleb wrote: Now taking bets on how long Jaime
