MERCEDES MAINTAINED, meticulously cared for, kept in cool private parking spots of the large buildings he worked and lived in.. At about the age of ten, it took up it's Hollywood address, where it remained, and saw another 25k miles, as a SUNDAY DRIVER, for the next decade or so.--------------I PURCHASED the car in Oct. of 2010, from a consigner who knew the owner from previous dealings of his collector cars. It was kept in a climate controlled collector car garage. I had it shipped, and proceeded to remedy a short list of small problems and replaced a few visually imperfect parts from 2 select dismantlers. ----------I must sell it, as I have purchased a car, I was looking for, for a long long time. -----------The pictures are from California, as they and the knowledge of the prior owners, are the reason, I bought it without going there. -----------As you can see; other cars look uninspiring next to it's SLEEK CLASSIC LINES, and in this color.------" NEW" are the GERMAN CONVERTABLE TOP ( I purchased & dan installed.), BRAKES, TIRES, WHEELS, SHOCKS, EXHAUST, RADIATOR, MOST HOSES, All TUNE UP PARTS, HORN(Lack of use, with the meticulous owners.).and under hood insulation PAD.---------- "NEWER", are a number of sway bar bushings and suspension parts, as well as the INJECTORS, FUEL PUMP @ FILTER, and AC COMPRESSOR------ It drives like a new car, rather like a new Mercedes.------------------------Sincere inquirers are welcome to call , Chuck @ 414-228-1805. ASKING $23,700--OBO. I plan to accept the best offer by around December 1, if the car isn't sold sooner. ASKING 23,700--OBO I LOOKED AT MANY CARS AND SPOKE WITH MANY SELLERS. I DIDN'T WANT A CAR THAT SHOWED WEAR. I SORTED OUT ALL OF THE SMALL LOOSE SCREWS AND LITTLE NOISES TYPE STUFF, NOW I DRIVE IT TO AN UPSCALE CAR SHOW ONCE A WEEK IN THE SUMMER. ---------- I gave the car a very fine finishing polish with an orbital sander before waxing it. I don't really want to sell it, but I've decided, even after all the time I took to find it's and attend to all the small details,
