Its an issue on ALL of them, not just the 70's. The only models with
the recall are the 450SL's. The rest of them still have the problem
though. If you buy the car I do have a subframe available for it. Its
really not that hard to change out.

I took a look at a 1985 380SL this weekend. The guy that had it for sale had
quite the setup, and after a test drive of the car, he offered to put it up
on his lift so I could take a look underneath.
While we had it in the air, I asked hime what year the subframes went bad -
he said it was the 1970's model, and they had fixed the issue by the 80's.
He then showed me on the car where they went bad - well, guess what - right
were he pointed was a crack in this car's subframe -about 1/2 inch was all
that was holding it. He about %*^%* himself when he saw it. He then said no
problem, he would take it to the dealership for the repair.
Anyone know if this is still a recall issue, or if he will have to pay to
fix it? Anyone know how much that kind of repair is, and is it safe after it
is done?
Thanks
