Black/black is almost unheard of on a W123.  Looks awesome.

I dunno, back in 2011 or so I sold my '83 240D with a siezed engine for $250. 
It was way rustier than that one.

Re: [MBZ] 2004 E500 Wagon - 177k miles - $7,900

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

My house in Maine has a metal roof over the porch but asphalt over the rest. 
Apparently the porch had cedar shakes and as they got soft a racoon started 
making it's home in the porch through the soft shakes. The previous occupant 
got his brother (the home owner) to put a tin roof on the porch.

The asphalt on the house is adequate for now, at some point I'll have a tin 
roof put on. Fortunately in that area the Amish will do the job. They're fast 
and way cheaper than what I'd been quoted down here.

Re: [MBZ] Rescue Mission in Methalachia

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I put a battery to it and the cluster came alive, 162kmi. the steering 
wheel moved when I hit a memory button then the controls on the wheel, 
pass seat moved, no windows though with switches although one did move 
when I opened the door.  I'll CHECK THE FUSES tomorrow.


No key though, so that is a limiting factor.

Cadillac converters gone, imagine that...

Black/black 01CL600 AMG. I need to run the VIN but it’s legit AMG I think. No 
key no tittle so I’m not sure what I can do with it as a whole. Didn’t even 
really look much at it, wrestled organizing and loading it on the trailer for 
about 3hr in the drizzle as it was slammed and there was a bunch of sh*t up 
next to it I had to move around, rear tires flat (but held air for awhile).  
But I got my workout with the cheep cheep HF come-along (I need a winch!) and 
got it dragged up. It took about an hour of jinking the trailer to get it lined 
up right, there was NO maneuvering room and I had no spotter.

Pro tip:  The C215/W220 transmission can be shifted from park by whacking the 
top of the shifter then pulling it back. And there is no steering lock. That 
helped immensely.

It was way back up in the Jawja woods and hills at end of gravel road then 
uphill twisty narrow dirt track. Beautiful country but rough.  About 70mi north 
of Alanna.  (Atlanta is a traffic nightmare disaster, I hate that place) I had 
pretty much no room to get the trailer turned around after driving up to the 
property but managed. The $675ML500 is a beeste, it rides like a log truck and 
handles like one too but it is very capable albeit with quite a thirst for 
hi-test (don’t ask).  The seats are pretty comfy though. Oh and it had been 
raining/drizzling so everything was slick red Jawja clay, the AWD is awesome, 
the Kumho all-weather tires did ok too. It was a bit scary going back down on 
the narrow slick dirt track with 6200lb pushing the ML but worked out.

It was a weird deal, the guy selling it was not there, I guess he was working , 
his brother was supposedly there but asleep in the doublewide after working all 
night. I never roused him though I tried, his dog was worked up though. I was 
thinking I was gonna get shot “stealing” the car but never saw anyone. I was 
texting the seller so that was ok. He said he got 139 queries on the car, 
somehow I floated to the top after like 2 weeks of no response then some 
minimal response on Thursday.  I figured I’d get there and see some other guy 
hauling it off. I left the $$ under the floor mat of a dead SUV that was also 
there. Interesting transaction. I thought I heard banjo music a coupla times.

I’ll look at it closely tomorrow in the good light on the trailer. Body appears 
to be quite straight and paint decent, might even clean up. No idea about 
engine, the serp belt was thrown, I need to talk to the guy and see what he 
knows about the car. (He is a man of few words and quite the drawl).

Without a key it’s probably parts but maybe I can track down a tittle somehow, 
or see if I can get a bootleg key. If parts then the glass, hood, and fenders 
might go on my CL500. I can probably put some power to the window switches and 
get those raised and give it a wash.

Fun (well…) adventure!
