What a beautiful vehicle!

It scares me, that there are some left in great condition.

That would be a nice car to own. Something about the 116 that I like alot.

The one I just rescued from California appears to be in about that sort of shape. Not real sure about the engine quite yet and the tranny is bad, but the body and interior are near perfect. Unfortunately it's one of those 70s colors that don't do much for me. I call it "color of the universe" brown

Pretty car, 300 miles away.

Seems like the back seats in these cars always look wrinkled like they are broken-down. Look like someone stored sacks of cement on them for the last 20 years. My imagination?

Cool address, Ragland, AL.

You should buy it. Then we can all talk about it for the next six months and ogle the photos.

It would be cool to have a white one to go with my black one!

If I bring home another one anytime soon I may have to find a new place to live. I could get the car and the address, I like both.

Nice I would love to snage one of those. But in 6.9 trim! I want a super fast sleeper.

I would love that but my wife would turn Loreena Bobbit on me if I bought it.

hmm... do W116s typically not have sunroofs? I'm curious because I've always been interested in the W116 for extra trunk space and the potential for a 'stock' second trank for WVO.

If I recall there was a manufacturing problem or some other reason for shortage of sunroofs on the late W116. They are somewhat harder to find with sunroofs.
