I don't think the first R129's had the folding hardtop, but I can't find a
definitive answer in a quick search.
The R129 is based on the W124 and has many interchangable parts.
from Wikipedia (YMMV):
Designed in 1984, the R129 was based on the shortened floorpan of the

W124

I didn't think _any_ of them did. Thought that showed up
with the SLK. Just like 113 (?) and 107, it has both a
folding soft top and a separate drop-on hard top.

1980s vintage SLs are a dime a dozen around here, and the prices are all over

that need things like windshields to crazy dealers asking

The R129 does seem nice and modern, in the style of the W201 and w124. Issue I
would have is that they boogered them up with electronics and disintegrating
wire harness. Just too many bells, whistles, and flashing lights to go wrong.

I was thinking $1500. If he bites, I would do it. There's nothing there
that's so bad as to make it a money pit.
I'm not taking any bets, however. I think the big deal killer is that it's not
currently driveable. That will take it out of a lot of people's consideration
unless they're
I highly doubt he will take it. Usually they have to get 3 or 4 people offering
them that sort of money then they start figuring out that's what they will get
and take the next offer that comes along.
