Re: [MBZ] this thing could taco at any moment
Not accurate to refer to it as a convertible. That implies it can be converted from an open to closed vehicle. No mention of any additional stiffening welded into the undercarriage to offset the missing roof. I wouldn't be able to license it here as it would neve pass the safety test. Wonder how mouldy the interior is. CT gets rain as I recall. AZ maybe but CT is a bit cold and wet for no roof at all.

Re: [MBZ] this thing could taco at any moment
I've seen an early 70s Ford wagon sag in the middle. The car belonged to a high school buddy of mine in Western NY State, the rust capital of the World. He hit a pot hole one day it went crunch, then none of the doors would open. We could open the doors by laying a piece of wood across a roll around jack jacking the center of the car up. It actually did not look that bad.

Re: [MBZ] this thing could taco at any moment
I always thought the C123 would make a nice-looking roadster. Our C114 sure looks good, and it even still has the (removable) hardtop. The size of the (absolutely required) 2x6x1/4 C channel iron underneath is frightening, but prevents the doors from jamming. I loosened one once and the door on that side promptly pinched. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

That reminds me of an article I read some time ago Car Driver or maybe MT, ?about a conversion company in California that does the convertible conversions.
