These have shot up to crazy prices lately... even the coupes converted to
cabs have value... they list them in german pricing guides. The last guide
I have shows a converted 220SEb cab worth 32,000EUR in #3 condition.
Compare to 41,000EUR for a real one and only 17,300EUR for a coupe.
Regardless
If we had a VIN we would know.
