Euro '84(?) 560SEC with offset Lorinsers' for sale in CO - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Hello,

I just got this car and I am still learning about it; the pics and lack of details will demonstrate that...

It's a basket case, heads were removed 7+ years ago when a headgasket went away, never got put back together again. 260K+ on the clock, no keys and no title. It has most of a fiberglass body kit in good condition (front spoiler is inside the car). Headlights, taillights and bumpers are all in good condition. Interior is blue cloth. Lorinsers are indeed the offset sort, wider in the back. Three are inside the car, and two of those are the deep offset. Since I don't have a key, I don't know if the fourth is in the trunk yet or not (I assume the heads and FI are there as well).

Pics will update as this progresses, hope to 'break-in' to the trunk tomorrow via a drill into the trunk tumbler...

I am tentatively asking $3k for all of it, I will not separate as I don't have time to do so.

I had to break that down so we can comment on each individual point.

Just got it, no title, no key. No heads. No pics. 3 Lorinser wheels. $3k. Something here is not adding up.

Are the exhaust manifolds present?

I shouldn’t knock it until I’ve seen it.

Is the car rusty, or rust free, or somewhere in between.

I've had Incredible trouble trying to post up pics; I've taken some preliminary pics to post up, but now I am having trouble getting the stupid site to accept them... New to Iphones, and sorting this out. Please be patient...

When you say it doesn't add up, it appears to be because you did not recognize that I wrote something to the affect of 'details offered as they come.' I'm not a scammer, I've been on here many years; look at my profile.

I'll get pics up when I can, sorry for the delays.

Here's a pic of the wheels and the front of the car.

Better pics after cleaning...

There is some rust, trunk floor is holey, and there is a pocket of surface rust inside the passenger door. Wheels were painted to match the car, but they need refinishing like any chrome wheels from the 80s...

The interior is near flawless, barring the cracked dash (it has a dash cover) and the poor condition of the wood. The seats appear to have been covered with wool since new. These seats are worth a good bit alone.

Feel free to email me for more details or more pics, diutley@gmail.com, or call my cell fourzerofive863DAVE

All the missing bits under the hood were in the trunk, but the missing Lorinser was not.
