Regardless of its price, this is a car that I personally would want to see and inspect. There is no doubt in my mind that the car has rust - it is only a question as to how much and where. I don't think that engine parts are free either. Isn't this the engine in which a new distributor from MB costs $3k?

Perhaps the air bags are "done" but apparently doing them leaves a mere 3,428 spots in the system where air can escape.

Very cool car once sorted out, but...Caveat emptor!
