as noted above the model is not valuable enough to warrent a full restoration. i dont know about the mileage but it cant be very high by looking at the pristine condition of everything in it.

and since it is not collectable, if i want ed such a car i would just drive it. i wouldnt go on a trip with those old tires. they do look original. the deep rip on the side is what the tires that mb fitted looked like. i have had several cars with those in the spare well. my 500sec has one right now. i have put several on the road. in daily use the old tires tend to blow up a lump on the side after a few months.

great car. but it still has a frankenstein ac bracket and those terrible old chrysler ac controls.
