Ya. Well hopefully I'll find a wrecked 560 someday and "correct" my car's lack of toys.

Sadly due to a hard drive crash this is the only picture I have. I'm still looking for a volvo or saab in the boneyard I can pull the wiper arms off for the headlights.

Volvo or Saab headlight wipers work on these cars? Which models work? Mine are working now, but I will pull a set of spares if I see them.

One here. Pearl black, not quite sure which interior color... some bits are a lighter tan than others based on where the sun has shone. 334,000 miles on the body, somewhere around 200-210k on the engine... nobody really knows.

1986 SDL - 316,079 miles on it for the last 6 years.

I bought it 5 years ago with a couple of holes in the block. The last big-end cap came off the connecting rod on a previous owner rebuild. I tore it down when I got it and stored the car in a garage on my mom's farm. Since then I've had the trans rebuilt and I've got a new carpet and the interior from a late model 560SEL. I'm ready to build the engine back up, but I've got a bit of a connecting rod issue I have to deal with first.

Interior - leather light brown / java (274)
Paint - smoke silver metallic (702)

I'm very excited about getting it running by springtime.
