[jjs316]

I was on ebaymotors the other day i ran accross a 1966 Mercedes Benz 200 series wagon universal (or thats how they had it listed). Does anyone know where one of these cars can be found? or does anyone even have pics of one? I waited to late and the one on ebay is gone :-(. thanks

Yeah I saw that too, was perfect condition 1966 230 wagon that traded above $12,000. It's Belgian built coachwork and only a couple thousand were made http://www.heckflosse.nl/uni.htm .

Twenty years ago, I could have bought a nice 230S Universal for $1500. Three years ago, there was a very rusty and poor running one, for sale at the local German Marque show. I think the guy was asking $2800!
Over $12000 for a supposedly mint condition one? Oh well, if you went to restore one today, you could spend two or three times that much.

Happy Motoring, Mark.

Correction: bidding stopped at $13,350 w/out reserve being met. Maybe contact the seller to ask him to relist or haggle over whatever he *thinks* the car is worth if you gotta have an old 110 MB wagon.... $15,000? seems alot, even for original unmolested condition at 132k miles.

Here's the ebay listing from my history folder:

Dang it, we had a cracked block 200D version of the Belgian wagon kickin around here last year for about $900 + shipping. And the 200 looked like a better car with bucket seats, roof rack and the forever popular KuhlMeister A/C, same color scheme: dark blue over red.
