My father tells the story of a 5 speed SLR his buddy had in 'Nam... maybe it was in Saudi Arabia... anyway, the Gullwing was FAST! at 120mph, he could downshift to 4th and Smoke the tires on the way to 180mph...

no pictures of course, just an old air force maintenance officer's story...

Ideally a Fintail, but a w116 would work until I find one!

(I'm gonna call a guy about a w116 tomorrow, hopefully he still has it and I can go check it out this weekend and then maybe take my parts car to the junkyard so I have enough money to by it lol)

I dunno, maybe a w221 S65 AMG. Never owned a v12, not even sure it's on my bucket list. But have developed a fondness for foreced induction engines with ridiculous amounts of low RPM torque.

the signal RED coupe that was in cars a month n a half ago is a holy grail car. one of the members in new england was doing his " im a diesel benz guy in new england --and this car is signifigantly overpriced"---like they control the market with all the grey and turd brown winter rats up there,, and an anomilie like this red coupe comes up and hes pretending its a usual rusted turd brown winter rat

PanZZer you're just upset because you were absolutely dead wrong for the way you reacted to his thread. We all agreed that you were out of line and now you are simply acting childish.

My list would include a 300SEL 6.3, if I found one now that was in good shape I would pick it up. Although I have no idea where I would store it.

Yes, because none seem to exist (Or haven't been found yet) and if found in a barn Mercedes would likely send me one heck of a check to take it off my hands

The owner of the car thought I was spot on. It wasnt the guy doing the skinflint routine's thread............. childish. And the kid saying he come up with the money well I wouldn't call it childish either, just 20 something UNrealistic.

Ahhh I for some reason thought you were the guy ragging on his car, I also mis-read your post. My appologies friend.

These oldtimers are simply majestic.





MB obviously made it hard for us to choose which one would be considered a "Holy Grail" MB, because they all seem to be!




I guess, of these two, only the original models were holier!
