Yikes , Michigan winters are really bad to cars! I'm glad our snow season is relatively short, and salt only gets applied to the roads 4 or 5 times per year.

whunter, how did the frame look on that 420SEL?

A Local SD went for $600 at the auto auction with FAR less rust/damage to the body (Even chrome MB wheels probably $400 alone) but the inside was 2/10 and the engine ran like cr@p.

I love the SD, but even those pictures would make me turn away.

Knock off about four 0's off the price and I'll think about it.

Too much rust. I might offer him $1500 for it... maybe less since it is a g@$$er.
