Jimmy, HAHAHA!!!

That car looks to be in very nice shape over all... Id remove the badges, and belt line trim and buff the paint out to its best, re-install the trim pieces, and sell it for $1000 more! Good paint can REALLY sell a car. The paint is clearly restorable, but if it is in the best possible shape at sale it will definitely bring more $$ in.... you have to consider that the cost of a new paint job will be very expensive if its done right- so a car that is as clean as that deserves to have its paint brought back to life. An anal MB Diesel nut like myself would travel many miles to purchase a car that not only is in exceptional shape, but looks the part too.

Why the change of heart? besides the CA junk, it looks like it could be a real keeper.

BTW, that's a mighty BIG font you used in the auction...

i don't have the room, i am buying a condo that only has one space available, i couldn't possibly get rid of my 500, i use the large font mainly for the older folks who have a hard time reading the smaller text. also doesn't leave any fine print issues.

I just sold my keeper.
