Unbeleivable!!!!! Front of a coupe. It looks really great, well actually I really don't like white MBs but if I'd buy it, I'd repaint it.

car looks good..i am very wary of cars from Texas and florida though...what do you think akry?

Wow. one of a kind...

Whan,

On the worry side, I am with you for sure. From what I heard on Viper Clubs, Texas insurance company usually won't claim a car total loss(write off)unless there are more then 75-80% damage on the car. There was a story about a guy who bought a 1994 Viper, later found out that the chassis was not straight. So, he did a history check on the car(which is from Texas), and found out that the Viper was rebuild with 93% damage(which is BAD, and Vipers' chassis CAN NOT be repaired to 100%(85% at most)if hit).

But it sure is one of a kind. Anyone whos interested in this car should do a history check on it....

Hi Fellas,
I ran the VIN through Carfax just for giggles and it came up clean. *Neither MercedesShop nor I are vouching for this car in any way* All the usual Carfax fields read as "checked. no problem title found". Not sure what the car is doing in Texas or Florida as the only DMV record found was the initial loan/lien on 6/3/93 in the state of Louisiana.

This car really isn't my cup of tea (twin turbo C36 or 6.0/6.5 500E's on the other hand...) but I just thought I'd pass on the info I could find.

Hope this helps...Lee

Lee,

Thnx for the info...hm..Luisiana eh....I am wondering the same thing as you, Lee....what's it doing in Texas...

Does anyone know where I can find the wood trim that is surrounding the speedometer on this car?

We can special most anything OEM on PartsShop. Our pricing isn't as competitive as Fastlane items but it will still be less than MB list. Turn in a parts inquiry and we'll start digging.

Hope this helps...Lee

The wood dash cluster and parchment color dials are pretty cool in that 500SEL....
