1970 250C for sale-again!

I know the economy is horrible (for now). I have heard that the value on the W115s are increasing, however I have only had a few tire kickers. Going to park it and start parting it out in the spring, thought I would reach out to any folks that missed out when I first posted it. Thanks.

Awesome car, hope it goes to someone that knows it's worth more than the list price. LOVE the euro lights and bumpers. You'll have tons of interest if you have to part it out. I call dibs on parts

I hope you do not end up parting it out... If you were closer to TX, you would be a bit richer right now...

I don't like to object to people parting out such nice cars because in most cases, people do it because they are sick to death of tire kickers and low ballers. But that said, this one really looks too nice to part out. Why don't you try taking really detailed pictures and listing it on eBay. A local fellow had a red 280C that he had listed for $3500 OBO in the CL. He listed it on ebay after months of being in the CL and got $4000. They take $125 only if the car sells.

Oh god it's Wilmas close cousin. That car looks way too nice to part out. That being said I call first dibs on parts. What color is the interior?

I would hate to see you part out that car. It's really nice. If you do part it out I would like both front and rear bumpers. I really hope you sell it though. Best of luck.

What a nice looking air cleaner

Seriously, you did it up nicely. I am glad I was able to provide that for such a lovely car.

Yes, "Lissy" is a beauty

Thanks Charlie, and to Jive Turkey, I have been watching your progress and have seen similar struggles, and have some more pictures.
The interior is like a fakin bake tan. I am hopeful to find her a good home, I named her after a Bavarian girl I knew while stationed in Germany...

$2,500 does seem low. Looks very complete. Even has the fan shroud. Firts aid kit is really cool. Eruo headlights are a plus too. Great looking car.
