Thanks Jim B. for the comments on the 240.
I painted it myself ~2 years ago. I posted a thread on my homemade spray booth here:
Pleased with home made spray booth results
As for the W140 I am really only interested if it’s great value, as I really don't need another car. I believe the head gasket has been done so the risk is tranny rebuild and a future A/C nightmare. I thought I might offer less and pick up a bargain. Otherwise I can pass.
Thanks,
John
