I found her in a boneyard last week about to go to the crusher . Silly, but I couldn't let that happen.

The car is either a ground-up restoration or a parts car, and needs to go to someone who knows these cars -- I love 'em, but I don't know 'em! I've really got all I can say grace over with 6 diesels, maybe going on 7, so this SL is looking for a home.

I've posted it in both the Parts forum and the Car forum. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforu...d.php?t=194924

Hope someone will give her a good home.

Sunny

If it's that bad, then let 'er get crushed! I'm a realist.

At least it is on my W123s. That was what drew me to the car in the first place. But if you don't need it, I understand --- "it don't mean nothin' "

My pictures are too big, so I posted them on Photobucket -- here's the link. http://s211.photobucket.com/albums/bb295/sunnyintx_album/1973%20450SL/

There is some small body damage that I couldn't see when it was up against all the other smushed MBZs, but it's still far more good than bad as far as the body is concerned.

The boneyard guys dug out the grille (they'd forgotten they had it -- and it's in good shape!) and put it on, but I failed to get it in the pics. If you have doubts, buy whiskeydan's!

Let me know if you're interested. Seeing her again in almost the light of day, I'm definitely not going to be insulted with a lower offer!! She just needs a home.

It's a 450SLC hardtop, which is nowhere as sought after SL. There are a few parts worth picking off it, but as a resto candidate, I would say no. It's not worth enough. Not your faiul if you went by the trank badge which looks like 450 SL, but is supposed to read 450SLC. That car looks too far gone, even for free, I think, considering transport and everything.

Now in
picture 000_061, those Euro lights on that W123 car off to the left, if the pair are undamaged, those would REALLY get some action around here,for sure on "Diesel Discussion" or the W123 section on www.benzworld.com GUARANTEED if it's a good undamaged working pair.

A pretty flinty eyed crowd around here, I am sorry, it was a noble gesture of you anyway.
