These cars just don't sell for that much. The only people who would consider spending that kind of money on them are the very people most informed about their value. 3 to 4 times the cars worth?
If I were to venture a theory, I would be leaning toward a money laundering operation. If these people are in fact hippies, they might very well know how to sell more than just cars. What was in the trunk of the car that just sold for $15k? As for the TD, no way do I believe that is original paint. The 139000 miles on it had to happen outdoors, and on a road, and you can't get that many miles without the paint fading and getting some stone chips.
The fact that the door jamb is exactly the same color as the exterior body, just can't be real. UNLESS, it was only driven at night on roads that were closed and never when the wind was blowing etc etc etc. How did they they fuel the car without getting some paint damage in or around the filler?
AND, did MB really paint the inside of the fenders and wheel house the way they are showing? Mine is not like that.
If it seems to good to be true, it usually is.

All that aside, they are very nice looking cars, and even if they have been straightened, filled, blasted, painted and so forth, it seems like they do a very professional job. Good on 'em for picking these great old cars.
