Why don't people detail their cars before they take pictures of it when they sell? Is that to obvious? Spray down the engine bay at least!

That's a neat classic looking MB.

The VIN looks odd but I think it has a Hydrak. The owner should have cleaned it up.

Not the semi-automatic hydrak because it's got clutch pedal... mechanical non-hydraulic clutch you understand.

You're right. I was looking at the screwy chassis number.

That screwy chassis number has the date embedded in it, backwards (the 75). They realized they had a problem with 1960, and changed the scheme around. -CTH
