Hey, it's probably academic, but there are two cars available, that i would consider buying ( if work keeps coming my way????)

here's one

1973 73 MBZ Mercedes Benz 450 SE 450SE

73. nice bumpers, good color. been on c/l for weeks. will probably see this weekend. maybe offer $1500?

or, 75 280se euro, good bumpers, crank windows, sunroof, manual climate, etc. probably get for $4k? needs front seats redone, and some minor paint work. (by the way, that's an m110, right, with better performance than the u.s. model, and probably comparable to the 73 v-8, with better gas mileage?)

anyway, any thoughts, opinions, things to look for, etc. appreciated.

( i know that rust, in the rockers, fenders, and floor pans i something to look for.)

thanks
