Just added another benz to my stable
 

Here she is.........Zero rust anywhere.

Till I resize pictures to post them heres a link for the car I just bought. This was the sellers webpage.

$2,800 cash got it. Its now at my house...waiting to title and transfer tags from my honda.

And this is from when it was on ebay........http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4520377065&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Wow, she looks excellent.

Why would the seller rate the paint "7" and the interior "7". It would appear that he is too critical of it? :confused:

It's my favorite color combo.

Good luck with it.

Thats a nice looking car!! Someday when I actually have money I hope to be able to have a *stable* as well.....as for now, I'll enjoy my SD, and my debt. :D

That is a pretty boss ride there...

I like the color combo too...
Now you get another MB to go through and do all the good little modifications to :)

Nice! Good deal, for $2,800 how can you go wrong? :cool:

Tach isn't working but clock is.........temp guage isn't but the others are......A/C works............cruise even works.

Something managed to get "stuck" in the EGR vacume line today and can't figure out how to get it out for the life of me. :D

Its flaws........couple of scratches in the hood paint....and a cigaret burn on the back seat. And a tiny perferation on the headliner in the back. And the doors on the two vanity lights on the visors are off. Need to see if I can find a way to fix that.

Even has the factory tool kit.

Front suspension is tight. all in all a good deal for a rust free car I think.

If the scratches are not to deep they will buff out. If you can grab it with your nail it isn't going anywhere though.

No these won't buff out.......they were deep and someone used touch up paint on them..........

Its going to be my daily driver.

There is a dent on the pass rear door....like it sideswiped something. You can just barely make it out in the photos.

And the Becker stereo is D.O.A. putting in a much better aftermarket CD/ MP3 deck anyway.


Can't wait to get the tags on it so I can sort out the low power it has. figure its a minor issue. maybe as easy as new filters....and ALDA tweak. IT runs real smooth and fired up instantly today........and it wasn't really very warm out.

Now to find some dash wood in excellant shape.

Just make sure that you don't go pluggin breather hoses on this one.................. :D

My ears were ringing.... ;)

Nice looking car, but did someone glue on the cup holder in the center of the dash (looks like crazy glue under it to me) if they did they need a thrashing!

It looks like a dandy to me too. When I bought my 83 the tach didn't work either so I did the cigarette butt fix listed in the diesel disscussion and it has worked fine ever since. I hope it gives you as much pleasure as my 83 is giving me.

Count on that one........ :eek:

They did worse than that they screwed it on.

and the climate control panel wood is MIA.

looks like yellow contact adheasive....

You have a PM..................
