We got lucky,
We picked up this 1985 500SEL from my wife’s brother who owned her from birth about two years ago. Only flaws, Missing Tow Hook Cover on front bumper, Seat belt wear on gray leather drivers seat side. Cruise control switch was broken, I replaced that.
It looks blue but it is gun metal gray.
Currently giving me minor problems with a power loss but I will get it! Especially with the help from this site!
