YOU MAY BUY THE 95 SL500 FOR A LOW PRICE, BUT ONE IN SUPER CONDITION WITH THE METAL TOP SELLS FOR $12K TO $15K. I HAVE ONE OF THOSE AND IT RUNS LIKE A NEW CAR.

i'LL BUY ALL YOU CAN FIND AT YOUR LOW PRICE. BEN CARTER

Well now, the rest of the car is worthless. In fact, I'd recommend buying an r129 and then chucking the car while keeping the hardtop. That's where the money is at. That is, if the OP doesn't corner the market and drive up prices first.

Posts 11 and 12 have links to Craigslist ads in the original sellers area, $ 3,000 to $ 6,500 buys a complete car. Someone has a top for sale at $ 500 and that is still too much. _Every_ R129 came with a hard top so they are not rare.

If this removable hard top is so valuable, why would the OP devalue their car by his original asking price of $ 14,000 and now much did they pay for the car? I think someones kid got a hold of a computer and is bored.
