Dang, when is the last time you saw the netting on the seat backs in such good condition? While I'm not as fond of Tex over the look, feel and smell of leather, this interior including the wood is nearly flawless. So with the interior and exterior look looking so good and hopefully not needing much, if any, attention, you can put some aside for an eventual "head" etc. If original and free of rust its would seem a good deal for $3,000. If you get a couple of years without any major mechanical repairs, you'll have a sweat car. I must say that that is one of the largest reductions of a reserve I have seen, hopefully its not a ploy so some "shill bidding" can be done.

Also...under the hood may have suffered the UGLY condition of oxidation on the aluminum parts that my 300SDL did after sitting for a while. And rather than painting to "cover-up" anything they just wanted it to look better. I ultimately had it all sand blasted and powder coated.
