Re: [MBZ] Dark Olive Green W115 280C on BAT

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

When I bought my 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood it was in a private body shop for 
three months.  One of those places where the guy says, “Drop it off and I’ll 
tell you when it’s done.”  He was a master, for sure.

First weekend I had the car out we were at the local Saturday night car 
gathering at the local small town Dog ’n’ Suds (Midwesterners will know what 
I’m talking about here.)  This was an evening get-together of everyone in the 
area with cars and enthusiasts of all kinds, sort of an evening cars and coffee.

You could leave your car unlocked and unattended and presumably no one would 
mess with it.

I came back from walking around and there as some little sh*t sitting on the 
hood of my freshly painted car.  Resisting the urge to beat him within an inch 
of his life, I ran him off, only to notice that a rivet on his jeans had 
scratched the once pristine newly painted finish on my car.  Arrrgh!

I took it back to my body guy and he touched it up.  Then he took me aside and 
sat me down in his office.

“Dan, if you never expect to get a nick or scratch in the surface of this paint 
job, drive the car home, put it in the garage, cover it, and never take it out. 
 If you want to drive and enjoy the car, expect that there will always be a 
level of wear and tear that it will experience no matter what.”

I heeded his advice and drove the car on nice days regularly.  It did get an 
occasional rock chip in the rather extensive surface on the hood, but I would 
dutifully touch these up and move on.

He won’t let it go, or any of the others, for that matter.  I made him an offer 
and he never responded, even after a couple of follow up emails/calls.  I even 
fished around with him prior to offering with a price so I wouldn’t offend, and 
he said I was in the ballpark.

MB hoarder.   I was sure it would end up that way.

No “end” until there’s no bidding for 2:00 after the end time.  That is, if 
someone puts a bid in 30 seconds before the auction is scheduled to end, the 
ending time gets kicked out another 2:00.

I've BTDT.  You buy a nice classic car and as you drive around daily you
start fantasizing about how nice it would be if all the little aggravations
and cosmetic imperfections were resolved.  One thing leads to another, and
the next thing you know the car's in the body show for 2 years.

Thanks, but no.  If I was going to drop $10k for an older MB, it would be for a 
finnie.

The person I know who is interested in it wants a high quality driver car, not 
a concours or show car.  This is exactly his car, as it’s solid, in good 
running condition, and doesn’t require any restoration or major work.

And for that matter, all of our cars are “imperfect vehicles” of they’re on the

Re: [MBZ] Dark Olive Green W115 280C on BAT

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’ve seen more on this car than the auction shows, as a potential buyer gave me 
the seller’s info and we did a conference call on it earlier this week.

It’s a very solid example of the model, and while I’m no fan of the M110 
engine, it’s an honest car and appears to have been well maintained.

I have an idea for what I think it will go for, but since it’s Friday and BAT,  
not going to make any predictions at this point.

280C is in that awkward space between old and modern.  At least the 250C is
a solidly "oldtimer" car.

As nice as it is to drive -- and I should know, having owned a 1973 280 --
it would nonetheless require a top to bottom restoration that could cost
between $10 and $20k.  There are too many little issues to piecemeal, but
it's still too nice to serve as a daily driver..
