That dent on the right dogleg and back door is a pretty large bit of damage...not a bad car otherwise, and I like the manual heat cocntrols, no ACC to crap out.

yes, what are they?

also, that body damage is hard to figure out, and the door too (or not?)

and the 280 (m110) is not fast enough for some.

but those bumpers sure look good, and if its a cali car, then rust should be minimal, at most.

anyway, there was also a '73 w450se on craigslist, which is rare, and the first year, and has regular bumpers, but w116s seem even less popular than w126s.

hey, anyway, window shopping is free!

anyway, just caught my eye.

The door is skinned-up, it's most obvious in the right side shot that is straight-on...under the handle it's wadded up. That could be a $1500+ repair, largely because you'd be painting the quarter, and door, and getting into color match issues. There are some ugly stains on the seats that are mostly cleaned-up, but if you look at the pic of the center console, with the window switches, look at the orange stain on the corduroy part of the seat cover. I don't mean to sound dumb, but that car DOES have A/C, doesn't it? I don't see a button for the compressor. I've never looked thta closely at a non-ACC car.
