What was your answer, William? OH ....a '73 450SEL would be sweet- has the proper (basically euro bumpers) long chassis....I am drooling. Is this in south FL?

You guys who cornered the market on TDs had the right idea. Wish I had thought of that earlier.

You can have too many MBs?
A low rust 116 would be sweet. I don't care if a 450 is a gas hog. Tried to buy a repo 450SEL from a finance company a few years back. Car had normal (for Cincy) rust and finance guy wanted a fortune. I think the fool had the high price on it right up to the day it went to the salvage yard. He probably only got a couple hundred bucks for it in the end. Hopefully the finance company took the loss. Wish I had a wagon. Missed out on buying one about 15 years ago. Bought Volvo GLT wagan instead. Lovely car. Slower than a 123 240D auto with the A/C on from a stop. Still wish I had bought that TD instead.

It's odd isn't it - what is it about these old Benzes that make us want more? I'm always looking for more - ALWAYS. I know of several in my neighborhood that I'm "watching", I have a line of three more near my work. Good ones!
