Another thing:
I have 2 keys. One is black Plastic (I think) around the big end and the other key is metal. They both work in the ignition and i can't remember if they work on the glove box (i'll try it later..this is what happens when you near the half century mark!). Was there a separate one for the glove box? I didn't have a lockable gas cap that said Mercedes or the Star symbol either. Did they normally come with lockable gas cap?
Thanks again! |
If it's a 2 door it's a 250C, if it's a 4 door it is not a "C". I believe the gas DOOR locks via vacuum actuator when doors are locked. I don't know if that was the set up back in 1970.
