Very cool! I've really got to liquidate a couple of my extra non-fun cars to make more room for stuff like this. Anyone interested in a '99 Grand Caravan Sport that only needs about $3K in mechanical/electrical repairs?

I had always wondered what these cars would look like in 2 tone!!

Did MB ever do a 2 tone like that??

The seller sounds like he is a relatively serious collector......just curious....

Oh man ... I wish I'd never seen that ... so tempting ... must ... stop ... self ...

Seriously, it's a good thing I'm a miser, or there would be about 48 MBs all stuffed in my driveway and strewn about the yard. There'd be a story in our paper, "local woman's excessive car collection offends neighbors."

I love the color scheme, even if it's a little brash ... looks neat with the pale interior. And I just love the W115.

Picture 24/24. Rear of muffler appears to have orange paint. Also, may be on suspension parts as well? Anybody else see this? I'm a fan of two tone paint, but I just don't know about the color combo.

Well preserved 115. Got to warm up to the two tone - but that's not saying I think its bad That car would look great driving around Berry Hill Farm.

Me too but, remember John I already have one, same color (sans white)! Paul Lang's old Nellybell! I drove it to the Centerville GTG....I have another but its a rustout and has an automatic...it may just become my new farm truck.

See post

It's even got the original engine with the primer pump by the filter.

The two tone doesn't look all that great, it reminds me of a city cab paint scheme. Stick a Spearmint Rhino sign on top and it's in the fleet

for a clown in texas who can't help but drive an atrocious orange car to show support for the UT longhorns. someone install some cow horns on that rig and i'm sure it will fetch double the buy it now price.

btw, i live in texas so i am allowed to critique horns fans...and orange cars.
