FS: 1958 Ponton 220S - Page 2 - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Asking $600 --- air is still holding in 3 tires.

I have a 20 foot trailer, so delivery is possible. Several possible trips are upcoming. My next one is the first weekend of November to the Louisville, KY area.

David, I'm looking to get the 59 220S from Strelnik. Looking for an engine, but don't want to buy a whole car to get one. I would, if needed. Let me know if we can work something out.

Give me a call --- PM sent with number.

I wonder if the title paperwork is going to get screwed up by this. This 1958 Ponton is NOT a Mercedes-Benz. See for yourself.

So, would the Identification number be:
220S/180010Z
or is the thing before the Z, the letter O ???

I guess I will be calling Nashville and asking the TN DMV which number they want me to use. Here's a few other pics of the ID plate and "finish" plate.

I was told by the DMV that the letter 'O' is never used in a vin or ID. It is always considered number Zero.

daw_two · #23 11-17-2011, 08:58 AM

Chassis No. 8515387 is used for registration purposes. The ID # is NOT unique.

I have received the State of Tennessee Certificat of Title for the 1958 Ponton. I have removed my address from the scanned image. I'm ready to transfer this vehicle to the purchaser.

During another life, I'd be all over this.

Wish it were such that...

Here is an interesting question: Why are the pictured name plates in English?

Great talking with you today.

If I might suggest a new set of pictures after.

* A light wash with soap and scrub.
* Clean the glass.
* Vacuum and lightly clean the interior and trunk.

It would make the car look better.

I realize you are incredibly honest.
However a couple of hours cleaning will do more to show buyers the reality.

The pet peeve of many collectors looking at prospective buys = trying to look at pictures of dirty barn cars to see what is hiding under years of grime.

Note: If it has been cleaned, the current pictures don't show it.

I would have to agree with whatever clean up you could do; very tempted.

Okay folks. I will wash the dirt off and vacuum the floor boards. More pics coming soon.

Hogweed -- the 20 foot trailer is 10K rated with electric brakes, ramps, 2 spares, and great condition decking. There are cheaper trailers on Memphis Craigslist.

$600 for the ponton.
$2900 for the 20' trailer (<- the link is the ad on Craigslist) and yes, it is over 7' between the wheel wells. Great for hauling a big pickup truck, tractor, or other equipment.
