lol, where to start? :D

I actually kinda like the continental thing, though a little less gaudy and a little more classic looking, might look really good.

Rims are way too new looking for the body.
Interior looks comfortable, and looks like it was a time consuming job, but im not a fan of that material they used.

should have been black and white two tone paint, not a rag top. Don't think that works on this car.

Overall looks like a car where a lot has been done appearance wise to a particular taste, not a lot done in the engine bay, probably not that well in tune. Wrong battery for one.

This looks like a 1000 dollar car that 8 thousand dollars of custom work was done, and the overall value of the car is still 1000-1500 bucks.



what does he mean by "stern box"? the diff? the trunk?

That takes the term "pimped" to a whole new level.

Incredible.

He doesn't show any paperwork, and doesn't mention it, so I get the impression there may not be complete paperwork.

By these standards, my 1974 240D only has 60,000 miles on it. :D

Also, I feel like the hood might be slightly tweaked, notice the big gap on the passenger side?

That is one beautiful W115. For the buy it now price of $19,500, he should have pictures of the engine and the bottom side with it up on a hoist.

Does that model have a hood catch on each side? maybe one is not latched?

Regarding the pictures showing a close-up of the Becker radio, what are the buttons marked "BC"? I've never seen that before.

Gawd, my eyes! So ugly it could make a blind kid cry!

That interior does look rather comfortable. I wonder how much it cost to have it done up?

and now a moment of silence
 
--for all the puppies that gave their lives so the seats might be reupholstered.

Looks like Olds 98 Regency Brougham influence there......

GAK!!

Do all your MB's in the US have bumpers that could be mistaken for a bus stop seat?

compu_85 03-01-2012 07:56 PM

from 1974 on, yup. They had to take a 5mph hit without damage to the bumper or the car. That was reduced to 2.5 mph in 1982.
