to save this car from ending up on a schlock lot?
`87 560SEL, 116K, quite clean. Body is actually just about perfect - nothing large enough to be called a dent, no rust identified during my quick inspection, might neet to re-paint the hood and trunk lid, brand new tires, chrome 16 hole wheels in excellent shape, palamino leather in excellent condition, needs an ignition switch.
The owner hit something that bent the tie rods on both sides, but I couldn't find any other underside or suspension damage front, center or rear. The car was donated to a local charity and has been consigned to an insurance auction tomorrow (Monday, 1/5) morning.
Sorry to interrupt the important stuff that typically gets discussed here in the Open Forum, but I really hate the thought of this fine old MB either ending up on some crappy lot ... or in Mexico.
I'm thinking it should be worth at least five-grand but would really appreciate your your input.
Thanks!
Norm
