Bill,
I wanted to e-mail you and tell you, but I couldn’t find your e-mail.
This truly is the car I had been looking for. I just had to have patients. The funny thing is that we drove up to Knoxville TN to get a car. I had decided to "settle" on am '88 300E (bad idea)
Once I got there I regained my senses, and quickly left without that car. The day after we got back I found it. The old guy I bought it from had mine and a '91 300SE in the garage, and another 300SD in the driveway. He simply had run out of room.
I was very lucky! Everything on the car works except the antenna and the cruise control. I am very pleased!
I asked my wife yesterday evening "now you are going to drive down to Austin in November right?" We will be bringing both down. Thanks for your help along the way!
