If you budget for a decent paint job, that brings it up over $5K and not
much of a bargain anymore.

She flew out to lake flacid this morning, so I have been able to pass  
wind with extreme prejudice.  I have put in an order with Rusty, and  
will be scouring Benz Friendz for items to post on eBay.   Boy will I  
be in huge trouble when she returns

I suspect that was our p-whipped colleague up in Seattle, Clay.  Apparently
he can't fart without first getting a signed release from the missus.  I
think she's a lawyer, so he knows better than to challenge the arrangement.
It's sad, really.  Pray for him.

Mine indeed, but if you ask me, _many_ of these occasionally
delightful creatures deserve that sobriquet.

Very odd that it's got four different colors of paint on
its various bits.  What a hodge-podge.  Still, if paint were
in your future that wouldn't be bad.  Looks like it's missing
the fog lights.

But I've got mine already.  Feel free to get yours too!
I drove mine to work today, it runs pretty well.  Needs a
lot of fiddly stuff, though.  At least the cuffs match the
collar!

Washed, it's still fairly shiny.  My wife parked next to
it today at lunch, and complemented me on my "good deal".
Hoo-hah!  Let me write that down...

She thinks the overall paint effect is better than the 450.
Though this one has many more flaws, the rust 'bulletholes'
in the 450's trunk lid were weighted high in her book.

[MBZ] Another CHEAP SL, JIM?

2007-08-03 Thread Kevin Kraly
It seems like the 380SL Gods are giving us bottom feeders a shot at driving 
in a nice 107 2 seater!  This one has been converted to the double row 
timing chain and has less than 90K miles on it with a straight body and fair 
interior.  Ad says it runs great.  It does have a salvage title and needs 
some front suspension work, probably will be a nice one with minimal 
investment.
