if those are the original sheepskins on those seats, the seats should be pristine underneath... however, they could be hiding some baaaad stuff!

I would think a celebrity status of ownership would put an extra 50 % to the restored value,I think Janice Joplins painted porshe brought some $300,000. at auction ,this could be a rich fans dream car.

warranty report

The dealer can give you a warranty service report and I think the original owner shows up on that - I got one on mine and I seem to remember the 1st owners name being on it.

Where is this place? I need parts, but I'd actually be interested in the whole car from you, as is, if you can make an arrangement with the guy. I'm the 300CD guy around here, let me at 'em, all of them, in my warehouse, wherever I can get 'em from, in almost any shape. If not for resto, than for parts. I'm up to eight 300CD's already. All in Silver with black interiors-No joke.. I may as well add that Gold Beauty, with Fleetwood Mac stat. to my stable. I'll come and pick it up. You can keep all the papers if you want them, just photocopy them for me, and I'll put the car back together, for myself.
