Very nice color on that 380SEL...looks like a beautiful car

Here's a pic I took yesterday, the 126 meeting with the fintail. Would have been a better shot if not so dark.

Yep, color is nice on the 380SEL. Only 51k miles. If I don't sell it, I will put clear corners, chrome rims and euro headlights, possibly clear tail lights and lowered suspension. Your W126 looks excellent and very well taken care of. Do you have any lighter pics
?

I'd like to get a set of factory chromes or period aftermarket wheels for my 126 too...but I will wait until the tires wear out and then replace everything at once. There was once a set of cool period Lorinser 16" wheels shown on this site that I would like to have.

Thanks for the compliments on my car. It's not a 100 point mint car or anything...but I do take care of it. At 174K now, it isn't perfect...but it is better than most I see. It is DB355, a light blue. You don't see it too often. It was the color I wanted when I started looking for another car to replace my fintail as a daily driver. I still have the fintail, and the 126 is a great match for it.

Here are a few pics...I am posting small versions, to not annoy anyone else reading this. Some pics are from before I put the Euros on it.

fintail, very nice color when sun shines on it. BTW, how much dod you buy your euro headlights for?? I see some on ebay but they are bit expensive to me...

Nice 420 there too btw. It's encouraging to see so many people still caring for these cars. It tells a lot about how good the cars really are.

There's a 91 560SEL on the lot at the local MB dealer here...101K, pretty nice shape. It's kind of a champagne with a burgundy-ish interior though...does nothing for me. One could probably get it for $9K

I paid maybe $225 for my lights, I think. They are Depo, not Bosch...they look to be of decent quality to me though. I do notice a different light pattern too, and they simply look so much better.

$225 isnt a bad price. I guess its the name u r really paying for. Are you serious about that 560SEL selling for 9grand?? Here in NY where I live most 560SEL's go for around 5-7 grand, I would die for another 560SEL. I love the engine. SO powerful and its almost as big as my corvette engine but my Vette has much more power that the 560

The dealer actually wants $11K for it...but I am sure you could easily knock a couple grand off. It is a nice looking car...rust problems and cosmetic issues are rare where I am, and it appears to have been cared for...with one drawback that I recall....it had a tow hitch. I don't know if I want the potential abuse that could have happened from that.

I have no regrets about the Euros. It was worth the cost (and what ended up being a 4 hour install instead of the 1 hour I see claimed LOL) for the looks alone. The car looks 'right' now.

I have a 500SEC in champagne duco with chocolate leather upholstery. I simply cannot imagine owning a better car.
