What do the sale prices for W107 SL's Suck?

[meltedpanda]

So I am an old car guy, and by that , as many like me know , we love our cars but like to trade and buy and sell as well. I have moved many MB's over the last few years but what continues to amaze me is why the W 107 SL market is so weak. Granted they have quirks, and a lot were made, but I don't understsnd the lack of a market for a well restored classic. I think my SL is a fine example of a early (72) 450, but I would venture to guess I would be lucky to get 10 grand out of it, despite the fact that it is basically error free. I saw several go at auction that were at 2 times lower than expected. Is it the economy? Bad reputation?
Just curious
.... and BTW mine is up for grabs at the first offer over 16K.
And no I am not holding my breath (lol)
