Luther - If you are serious take a really close look first. Trunk lid rust is a typical 107 trait. That rust looks pretty advanced. Road dirt gets trapped between the outer skin and the inner structure and absorbs moisture, causing rust out. Best to just replace the trunk lid. Mine has been fixed twice and it starting to rust again. I think a new lid is about $500 then it needs painting. I couldn't tell for sure but it looks like the muffler has been removed and replaced with a section of pipe. Rear bumper cover skin is about $130 plus installation. Low mileage, wonder if the odometer has been tweaked? Did the '78s still have the cats in the engine compartment or was '77 the last year for that? Wood is in very poor shape. No mention of shape of drop top. No mention if A/C works or if servo is good. I would think that current bid is not too far off. 10K sounds really high to me. Don't know about your neck of the woods but the $15K they say it is worth is more like the price of some lesser 560 SLs here in SoCal.

Luther, I too believe that to be expensive. I have a 1979 450SL that I'm planning to sell it does need a bit of TLC and I'm not going to expect half of that price.

If anybody wants a decent SLC, the fellow with that CL 79 450 called and wants to know if anybody here wanted it. He has so far only shown to me and was getting ready for others to come look.
