The True Mileage Unknown part? If it's something other than that....ya got me! (If it is something else, I hope it's not blatantly obvious so I feel like an idiot later)!

Tell me about the paint job.  Ken300D

Arctic White??
Looks to "white" for the MB White -- under the hood fender looks like they forgot to paint firewallto match)

Look for overspray.
Like the air intake horn for the air cleaner.

Yes
I guess it was to much trouble to take the two screws out, but I do see that - guess I was focused on the obvious firewall.

A couple of obvious things I see wrong.
1. Front splashpan ( under front bumper ), not painted at all. 2. Retail price $ 30 000.00 in 1982........I would think not.

Umm... the foglights are incorrect for that model year and it has green coolant?

Pretty good. Now you're catching things I didn't see.
There are many more things you can look for in person that won't show up in a digital photograph. There's something about the picture resolution that seems to hide minute paint problems and dents. And a cheap paint job looks mint. Ken300D

There's a whole lot of rust up under the front bumper.
