Selling my 1964 W110 190D fintail - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Hello everyone, I have decided I just have way too many projects, and tired of being too poor to finish one since I keep spending too much over them all. I've decided to sell off some of them and stop coillecting them for a while, and just focus on a few I really want to see run, (as much as I don't want to part with any of them.)
Due to the level of restoration needed on this car, and the cost I would need to put into it, I have decided this fintail has sat here for 3 yrs not being touched and just needs to be out of my way. It would make an excellent parts car as well. I am selling it as a restoration project or parts car, and asking $350 for it. If you're within 150 miles I can also deliver it for the cost of my fuel.

PRO'S= The body is fair & the exterior is in good condition. The car is complete, with an extra steering wheel, set of hubcaps, and beauty rings. It has a manual column shift trans. It has current registration on a non-op, and a clean title. All doors open and close easily, handles and latches work.
CON'S= The paint is dull,worn below the color in places (but not deep enough to rust). The interior is missing the carpet, but complete otherwise, and is tired. The inside rearview mirror fell off last year and shattered. The right front rocker corner is rusted, the left front is starting to show. I have found one small rust spot on the inner apron below the battery, in a non structural easy to fix spot, and in the same area on the lower fender skin. The rear left door appears to have some past bodywork done to it which is needing repair. The engine is partially disassembled by the P.O., it appears possibly due to a bad timing chain, the cam and towers are not damaged. The fuel tank smells of old fuel, the car has not run to my belief since the late 80's. The front left door window has to be helped up if it is rolled down.

Anyone interested email me (mustang_man298(at)hotmail.com) or call (530)474 5488. The car is located near Redding, CA. Thanks, Chris.

The distance between us is a bummer. I would have traded a manual tranny and some $ for that.....

Yeah, left coaster. I would have been keen on it, even with the shipping costs, but I recently fell for a Citroen that I always wanted and now I'm engaged.....

Hey Chris,

How far is it from Shingletown to Bend, Oregon? I would be interested but have no way of hauling anything of this size myself.

Thanks,

Phil

I'll come and pick it up, if you want to sell me the car trailer with it. I don't feel like dragging my trailer all the way, both directions..

If you'll buy me a new trailer to replace it then I could (joking of course)...otherwise I use this one too much....and that pic was before it got upgraded with all the goodies...
