I got a lead on a 1988 300ce, with new waterpump & battery. However, the current owner, who says he let it sit for 18 months, bought it from the local gas station owner, who titled it in NY. I'm interested in finding out where the car came from before it was acquired by the New York gas station. Vin: WDBEA50D2JA778359. Appreciate the help very much.
