wish I could, but I'm already in the middle of an engine swap. Daw, that thing is close to you too. I could get my seat back on the same trip..

PM sent.

I am getting up early to go down there and rescue this poor sd.;)

Probably not the wisest thing to do, drove a thousand miles to pick up a (pretty nice) parts car, but you know, I am a benz lovin' fool!

glad someone saved it!

Thank god.

I feel like a MB matchmaker :euro:

Glad it worked out!!

Brown is now a yankee...
 

TOM THANKS!!!

Hope your trip went well and brown is what (or more) than you expected. Glad to see it go to a good home. Please post when you get done. PM me an address in case I find more "goodies" as I clean garage.

PS..Tom, it's actually going to get hotter on Tues/Wed!

I had a nice time meeting Mark and loading up Brown. It is completely rust free and has a lovely interior. The paint needs help as mark noted originally. I will begin the evaluation process on the motor and see what is wrong with it.

I woke up this morning and before taking off from my Sister's home in Nashville I discovered a flat tire on my trailer, so finding a place to get it fixed was a task on Sunday morning.

I ended up driving about 20 miles with one tire on the right side of my trailer going 45 mph on the interstate berm to reacy the nearest Walmart.

Other than that the trip was uneventful.

Nice car. Thanks Mark!;)

Thanks TBO, too!;)

last time I was indiana was because I drove from NY to Pensacola to pick up a 300se/c parts car that was free and then went due north to indianapolis to pick over the bones of a cheap 280ce that had been tboned and then home. Nothing like a plesant road trip. One that lets you bring home souveniers worth keeping, well, that's just gravy.

Heading for home with the SD up on the trailer, riding pretty, I had this glow of happiness at the purchase that I thought must have been the same feeling that folks used to have when they bagged a big buck and strapped it on the hood of the car to drive home.;)

My amusing thought for the day.

shucks!!!
 

I just got back from vacation yesterday afternoon --- would have loved to have helped and met a fellow forum member.

Sorry I missed meeting you as well!;)

My favorite machinist screwed the last parts on the motor on Monday. It is at my Indies now getting reinstalled. Another week or so and it will be ready! I'd love to get the hitch installed so I can take it to pick up my new reynard autocross car!;)

$500 is all i can do!

This is my car now and it is not for sale. The motor has been rebuilt and is waiting to be eased down in at my Indie's shop.;) I expect to be using it as a trip car when it is done.

I cannot wait to get my euro lights installed too!
