What about it? It's a beige six cylinder W108 with carbies and possible issues after sitting for 8 years. Cheap enough I suppose?

The biggest problem I see is that it's in Salinas, Kansas. Not the end of the Earth but you can see it from there. Dan On Sep 17, 2014, at 10:16 PM, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] What abut this?
Sure, I can't see any obvious rust and it may be a low K example that wasn't driven much and spent it's life under cover. The only way to really tell what it's like is to have a look. The thing is if it is a very good original example you should keep it so and not drop in a better engine. Not sure how well it would go in modern traffic and it will want to have a big drink at the servo every now and then but if it is a bit of a project/weekend cruiser, then yeah. Really depends what you want in the way of the 108/9, this one may fly under the radar as it is not a V8 or a 109.

Re: [MBZ] What abut this?
wondering about the condition of the interior... Also, 280S is NOT fun to drive - better to wait for an SE On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 10:28 PM, Hendrik and Fay via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: Sure, I can't see any obvious rust and it may be a low K example that wasn't driven much and spent it's life under cover.

Re: [MBZ] What abut this?
Yes it is a bit suss that no pictures where taken of the interior, unless the thing was locked and this is some sort of sales agent getting rid of farmer Browns old Church wagon. However I can't see the point if the seller is trying to hide the interior, as it will be looked at eventually. Although the interior won't tell you much, as they are so hard wearing a interior out of a 34k mile car can look just like one from a 134k one, the only tell tale would be pedal wear and steering wheel wear if applicable. Plus interiors are relatively easy to repair/replace, it's rust that would determine if this is worth mucking around with. Once you start with metalwork and paint, it gets pricey. Then again if it needs paint, Klebby could paint it lime green and get a green interior from somewhere and drop in a OM or V8. Plus some 20 spinners to get Wilton excited. Then there is bag it option to drop it low.
