Celebrity cars

http://espn.myride.com/research/editorial/snacker/gallery.html?snackerId=594

So, it Gary Busey's Benz (page 3) a diesel? Doesn't appear to me to be, but I really just know the 123, 124, and 201s well.

That's a pre-1986 w126 coupe which means it's a gas engine.

That's kinda what I thought. I also think that's the most interesting of all the cars shown; everything else you'd expect a "celebrity" to drive.

It's either a 380SEC or a 500SEC - probably a 500.
