If the car is original and in good condition $40k-$50k would not be unrealistic. I didn’t look that closely at it, but if it has been repainted and not a “correct” MB color for the vintage, that would take away from the value. That being said, restorable parts cars like this that are drivable

No sealant. There is a rubber seal that is used that seals perfectly without sealant. The pan has places formed into the edges that make it seal properly and will distort if you overtighten. A common misstep by many, which causes the pan to leak. -D > On Jul 6, 2021, at 11:36 AM, Randy
