Really nice 280SLC

I wish I could pull of getting this one. Even though it is all kinds of green, it really seems to work well together, particularly with the cloth interior.

Nice car. Very unusual, but crazy price without AC.

I don't think the Canadians care quite so much about A/C as we do inside the Beltway.

Their dollar is also seemingly in free-fall - as low as 77 cents last week. It was $1.08 or so not that long ago.

True enough, but there are plenty of places in Canada where it gets hot in the summer to need AC. And at least 80% of the US market expects AC in a fixed-roof Mercedes. So it's tough to see how he is going to get a 30-40% premium for a gray market car with no AC.

But who knows, maybe someone out there really wants an underpowered gray market green SLC with cloth seats and fakey-do effects. At least it has the small bumpers.

Nice car. I wish we had more green here. Much more popular in Europe in all it's various shades.

Prefer the lighter shades personally, but I'd take that over many standard MB colors!
