The W126 380SEL or 300SEL is one of my bucket list cars. Just came across a really nice one in of all places, Amarillo, TX. Too far to go, and December is rarely a good time to be buying big ticket items… Dan > On Dec 13, 2015, at 3:11 PM, archer75--- via Mercedes >

[MBZ] 300 SEL

2015-12-13 Thread archer75--- via Mercedes
The local Crystal River, Florida indy shop has changed ownership. There are only 4 cars apparently for sale, but their are no price/description signs in the windows. One car is a 300 SEL that appears to most likely be a 1980s model. If anyone is interested, I can stop during the day and check

I like the W126 long wheelbase chassis. My first choice would be the 300SEL, as I would rather sacrifice performance for accessibility and ease of maintenance. The 380SEL is not my first choice, but for $2000, this looks like a pretty nice car. Just not sure I want to make a road trip home

That 380 is 2k? If it's legit it looks like it is worth messing with. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 13, 2015, at 5:00 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > I like the W126 long wheelbase chassis. My first choice would be the 300SEL, > as I would rather sacrifice
