Ouch,
I just watched the video you meant for us to watch. That is sad. Mercedes Makes some amazing commercials, but until you own one you just don't understand. I used to never think twice about them, but now they are soo soo true. At least for the older ones that is

I think it is fairly easy to get a salvage title in most states. You just need an inspection by the state patrol before you can register it. Don't let this one get crushed!

I have a 69 220D and it is a great little sedan. I agree that things go wrong with age, I've replaced a lot and it's cost a good deal in parts, but still well worth it.

Could be trouble underneath. I bought what looked like a nice '69 280S this past fall. The interior is ratty but the exterior looked excellent and very complete. It wouldn't start because of a ruptured gas line. The owner was asking a ridiculous $3000. I said nothing, but began checking things out. When I climbed into the trunk to lift out the mat, I felt the entire rear section creak and groan- literally collapsing under my weight. The gas line wasn't the only thing ruptured. Eventually the owner agreed to $500 and I stripped all the good parts off it, leaving the hulk right where it sat, ready to be towed to the crusher when spring arrives. After it's towed, I'll do my final raid of parts- suspension, wheels, driveline, etc.
