No sir. I checked and double checked. That is the vin on the car and the title.

Is there anything else that you would like to know about it? I know that the car is a gray market car that wasn't marketed in the U.S.

-John

The euro vins dont have the letters at the front, and this is a euro spec car. my 6.9 is the same way with the short vin. to title my 6.9 i just added the wdb letters to the begining.

This car has a clear Texas title without the prefix. It just has the numbers.

Price drop to 850

um, forget about the vin issue.

honestly - and not to drive the price down, just want to know - it looks like the paint and the interior are pretty sunbaked. please, no offense intended, but am i seeing correctly in the pictures? are we thinking complete interior replacement and a new paint job? thx

Probably a good buffing with an S.O.S. pad

Some duct tape on the seats

She'll be good as new.


Really though, if you were to fix'er up. The seats would need re-upholstery or replacement from what I can tell. I haven't pulled the seat covers off of the front seats, but I assume that they're probably just as bad as the rear.

To make it look purdy again, it's going to need fresh paint. I did discover that there are a couple of small 'cancer' spots on the rocker panels. They aren't too bad yet, but left in the current state, it could get bad.

Last price drop, for forum members only as of now, 700$ and come and get it.

Well, I like it because its different! I have never even heard of a 350SE! AND I have never seen a S-Class Mercedes with manual windows! I know its a Euro car, but its neat to see such a different Benz... it has to be rare.

I hope it gets a good home... I would like to see someone restore that one!

Good luck John!

It could be rare, I don't rightly know. I know it's fast though, so fast the license plates are just a blur...

it interests me because its a short wheelbase, i think, with a nice small(er) block v-8, euro (meaning higher compression and performance?) less weight, a little better gas mileage, better handling. and its exempt in califortnia from smog. now if it only had a four speed, i would be down there right away, even if i had to hitchhike.
