I've only purchased two brand new cars in my life. One was a '73 Satellite Sebring Plus (not a Sundance edition) and the other was my '74 240D.

the 73 and 74 model Sebrings were virtually identical. Mine was a golden-brown metalic color with a black vinyl top. I ordered it with the rally wheels, 400cid 4-bbl, limited slip rear, and even the sport steering wheel. When I traded it it in, the dealer wanted to knock the price because he didn't believe me that the steering wheel was original...

That thing would absolutely SCOOT! The main reason I sold it was the mid-70's gas crunch...

The Mercedes cost me twice as much but was 10 times the car. I kept the 240D for 20 years...
