Worst W123 Barn Find




This Has to be the Worst eBay Barn Find in History - Boldride.com

Hey it has after all:

Euro Lights

Euro Bumpers

Manual Climate Control

Manual Transmission

And the sought after........

Cloth Seats

OH...and the special protective coating.

That's worth something.......right???

Looks like it's worth £405.00 or $614.

barn find mercedes benz, project, spares or repair 1982-1983 | eBay


Hopefully the new owner decides to save it instead of parting it out.

That car must smell worse than a morgue. The iron value is probably around $700.. $360 dollar profit, plus if you can find anything worth picking off that car maybe a $400 dollar profit and a bunch of good lolz.

Lots of good recipes for pigeons, id grab a pellet gun and open the cookbook.

Just goes to show, when you stall on a project, close the darn hood and cover it!

It wouldn't take long to wash off the bird poop. It is what is under it that counts. Wonder what genius left the hood open for years. I am amazed at all the people who posts cars on ebay or craigslist and don't even bother to blow off the leaves before taking photos. Sometimes gives an opportunity.

Is there something wrong with me that I'm not that put off by the bird doo? I mean it looks reasonably straight and the interior isn't that bad. Though it'd be a lot less of an issue if someone had closed the hood at some point.
Of course, we see all that euro stuff and get excited, but in the UK none of that is really unusual ... oh well, hope it gets freed from its shell of, uh, nature and either gets on the road or goes to good parts use.
