Well, 300SD; She has stories to tell......
and this 300SD got her name well before
we even got to get that last look at her....
The wife's friend, an avid Benz enthusiast
heard she was of the color red and named
this Ol' 78 300SD, Ruby..........
The story about Ruby,,, Ruby is
being coined as
"an ol' dame with too much lipstick"........
At a closer look the car was repainted, the
masking job was horrendous. It only took
a few moments to realize that Rudy wasn't
going to find a new home with us.
I then pulled up the carpets on the back floor
to find a floor that lacked that lovely too much
lipstick look. I remember having floors like this
in an old AMC cherokee, right before the vehicle
became a Fred Flintstone mobile...
And the Steering, how the seller made claims
about all the money dumped into
the front end.....(at 85K?) you begin
to wonder..... The steering box was
completely shot(money must have been
spent on the wrong front end parts).
I've driven some serious junk in my day,
even owned quite a few too... Rarely, do I sell
my cars. I resurrect them; then use them up...
This Ruby, she was used up. I gotten free
cars in better shape than this.
Amazing, what a little bit of lipstick can do!
