I don't know...its in a pretty sad looking state. Possible to fix but not for what a decent one is worth....even if I do all the work myself, sweat equity is one thing but parts alone woould excede its real value...and thats if that rust is not as bad as it looks in those pictures. It would be far cheaper and easier to to but a better car to start with..that car is worth maybe $250 -$1,000 tops from those photos....to someone who needs a parts car.

All it would need then is a LPG, CNG conversion and some regenerative braking and you'd have the most diversely fueled/powered SL on the road.
