Nobody wanted the '85 500SL. My family suggested my grandmother, the original owner, donate it away since it had issues and had not been driven much in a few years. The other grand kids were embarrassed to be seen in it with the yellowed paint and peeling bundts. Its been quite a journey since I got a hold of her nearly 10 years ago. Now everyone in the family appreciates it much more. I'm happy to remind them they wanted to discard it. Just some polish, vintage AMGs, and pretty much every mechanical part rebuilt or replaced shy of the bottom end, transmission, and rear-end.
