Why do people want rare cars? I personally want the most generic vehicle out there.  More parts availability, lots of information to repair them etc. I have a Ford F150 and my wife drives a Honda Accord. They are about as not rare as you can get. I doubt there are other drivers looking at us

Interesting. Not only rare but hyper rare. That has to be worth something. On Thu, Jan 13, 2022 at 4:51 PM Allan Streib wrote: > Not really, but no good clear illuminated views on the driver's footwell. > Picture #16 clearly shows a manual shifter. > > > On Thu, Jan 13, 2022, at 4:44 PM,

Not really, but no good clear illuminated views on the driver's footwell. Picture #16 clearly shows a manual shifter. On Thu, Jan 13, 2022, at 4:44 PM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > Did you see a clutch? > > On Thu, Jan 13, 2022 at 4:41 PM Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: >> That's a manual

Someone took a can opener to the door bottoms and a key to the driver's seat. 6 speed auto, not manual. Such disappointment. On Thu, Jan 13, 2022 at 4:16 PM Rick Knoble via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > This thing would be fun to drive. > > >

Re: [MBZ] Too Bad About The Rust

Yeah I'd be very interested in that if not for the extensive rust. Probably a lot more that isn't visible. No price? On Thu, Jan 13, 2022, at 4:15 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes wrote: > This thing would be fun to drive. > >

Otherwise a pretty nice looking car. Close to Floyd, too, I believe: https://carsandbids.com/auctions/K1xjW012/1985-mercedesbenz-300sd If it wasn’t so rusty underneath I would be tempted to bid. -D
