Just how much trouble am I getting into with this 280S
 

280s I am looking at, 1968, body good, BUT here are the problems:

a. heater core leaks, bypassed at present;
b. When p/s belt is hook up, steering goes all the way over to right

Engine runs good, car is pretty tight. GUy is asking $500.00

Comments anyone?

with that stable of MB's you've got, you don't already know how much trouble you're getting into?

just kidding. my gut feeling is if you want a classic benz, and the body doesn't have bad rust and the engine is good, you're off to a good start. Offer $350 or $400. At worst you have another parts car :)
