What else? A 1959 Mercedes 220SE sedan. I traded a 350 Honda for it. It was an abandoned project (all the chrome pulled and primer). It had sat in the back of a guys yard where his daughters used to run over top of it from the front to the back. We snuck it home under the cover of darkness ( no plates no inspection) and caught it in gear in the police station parking lot. I was utterly brazen in those days. I rented a garage up the street to store it in and when I opened the garage door and showed my dad, he asked "How did you get it?" I said, "I traded my motorcycle for it." He replied,"You ass." and turned around and walked away. I spent every night that summer working on it and when I finally finished it and had it painted, my dad wanted to borrow it.
