hi there

i used to own two 3.5 coupes which i sold both were great cars but one had rust MA car but i used to use it ALOT and i work on the car a bit esp. tidy up of the leather which did cost alot but it was worth it the other was NEAR perfect CA car..

but had coloum change..but i think most people dont prefer that?? whats better? both were US specs..

anyway i must admit that i miss my 3.5 cars and i would like to buy anthor one

http://www.hymanltd.com/search/details.asp?stockno=2627&recordCount=32


what do you guys think?? to be hoesnt i must admit i LOVE strange and weird period colors so im sure alot of you would just HATE the color??

does anyone know anything about this dealer??
Hyman Ltd. Classic Cars
325 Paul Avenue
St. Louis, Mo. 63135

has any one seen this car?? is there any PROPER mercedes garage who know these cars in and out in st.louis Mo??

i would not buy from ebay... so i was wondering if any of u guys have any ideas either about this 3.5 or any other car? no project plz...whats the market value for a GOOD maybe number 2 car ( i forgot to say that i like STOCK unchanged cars ie same similer as they left the factroy)
also the behr a/c is important to me

anyway guys i CANT wait to hear what you have 2 say...

you seem to know ur mercedes classics and u seem to help pther people so THANKS

Sounds like you should have swapped shifters to put the floor-shift in the CA car. I do think a column-shift is kind of 'Retro' these days. I enjoy passenger's reactions to the manual '4 on the tree' in my 60 Fintail. Personally, for $23,000, I'd hold out for a manual 4 speed SE coupe.

Happy Motoring, Mark

See link. Looks like a similiar car and same color but no sunroof-should give you a good idea as to price when the action closes in 2 days.

Looks pretty damn good. One problem though:
In the 5th pic (2nd row, middle) you can see the options plate...

It appears silver whereas the rest of the car is gold. Not the original color? Deduct a few grand right there...

These coupes are coming out of the woodwork! I'd love to get one...

On this vehicle the green mb tex/ white steering wheel combination looks great -- eye catching and not too common.

d.s.

I live in St. Louis and would be happy to go look at the car. I don't know anything about the 3.5 but I could definately get a feel for the shop.

As for a garage, I don't know of any - I'm still looking for shop to properly service my w126. There always is the dealership though...

Anyway, let me know if you want me to check it out.

Those cars are so beautiful.

IMHO.

DS,
Check www.collectorcartraderonline.com. There were 50 280se listed. I didn't go through to see if there were any with 3.5 engines. If you need a 3.5 with manual 4 spd. trans I've got one in a parts slc. It is a 1973 Euro with 100K miles.

I know of a 3.5 coupe stick shift coming on the market soon - black with red interior. I'll see if I can attach a picture - I don't if this will work or not.

Where is the car located and when it's going to be for sale?Thanks

The car is in west Texas. I formerly owned the car - it's a very solid car. I will post a note here when the pictures/info/price are available - should be in a week or so.

For more info on for sale black/ red coupe shown above please see recent listing under "Cars".

I wound up buying that black, manual 4, 3.5. I drive it often. I absolutely love it.

BTW, Dean, I spoke with you months ago just a day or two before I closed the deal. Thank you for your help.

Here's a picture of it next to my father's '61 Jag.
