mark, many of them are definitely just parts cars. most of them are in fact. which ones were you thinking? one of those fintails? i know that the light blue fintail is not a parts car. but the rust fintail and the cream fintail are both parts i believe.

Eric,
What I'd like (If I had a magic wand) would be a set of 14 inch rims, as fitted to the 230/250 SL or W108 250S/SE before '68. Until '68 those 14 inch rims had the little 'nubs' to secure the small hubcaps.
All Fintails came stock with 13 inch rims and I'm now having some difficulty finding decent 13 inch replacement tires.

Happy Motoring, Mark

Are these pictures from the 'Rotten Rolls Register"?
Wish I had a way to post photos of my friend's decaying 47 Rolls Silver Wraith. (Especially last winter, buried under a five foot snowdrift!)

Happy Motoring, Mark

Not sure where I found the two Rolls photos I have a large file of car photos. Going to a good junkyard ranks right up there with finding an unfished section of trout stream as the best way to spend an afternnon that I can think of...........

Peyton, what is the light blue fintail? (model). Is it really rusty/how much does he generally ask for cars like that. Is he one of those guys that thinks "old mercedes, worth a fortune?" I would LOVE to get my greedy hands on a fintail. Especially one like a 190 or 200 gas. So simple, it makes my lawn mower look sophisticated. At least the mower has more wires.
Thanks
David

Hey david, the blue fintail is in good shape. there doesn't seem to be a LOT of surface rust on the exterior, but there's no telling what you'd find if you really gave it a good look over.

and yea, that's my mechanic's car he's had for ages and he's somewhat attached to it. like anything, it is for sale for the right price, but im sure he wants a lot. i expressed interest in it at one point and he wanted more than i would pay.

I guess I shouldn't ask then? If I was stupid enough to ask, what would the answer be? Were there any other fintails that weren't too terribly rusted. I can live with rust, heck, I drive a 116! As l;ong as floors are solid and there isn't a lot of visible rust, I am game. I don't need much of a trunk! I would only really want a small gas.
Thanks
David

Emm old Mercedes and the 2002 for some reason is a nerat little car to me. Anyone want to sponsor me in restoring a Merc with the fins
?

i think the light blue would be around $6K-$7K, and for that you can find a much nicer one.

I guess he really doesn't want to sell.
