If I was Bill Gates, do you have any idea how many of your cars I would own Herb?

and, I am not personally attacking you for the freon comment, I understand that you are selling this as a restoration project for a collector, but in almost every ad selling old MB's the compressor runs, and it "probably needs a shot of freon" it just grates on me... that's all.

However, in the case of this car, fixing the AC is a trivial expense. |

I agree with you on this case. This is a classic that deserves to be restored. I was refering to the thousands of chevy's and fords sold on flea bay everyday that "just need a shot of freon"

Yup, it's probably safe to assume you will be spending another $1000 on the AC.

That's a Euro, isn't it? No side markers and orange front corners are my tip-off. Additional DOT side markers do nothing for the car. I'd say it doesn't even need fog lights. Unless those are 15" bundts, I'd sell them as Steve McQueens winter wheels for the $50K to restore the car. It looks perfect with hubcaps.
Herb, "needs a Freon charge" is overused by scum on eBay. Unfortunately reputable sellers like yourself come off sounding less than reputable because of it. You're kinda forced into something like "compressor engages but doesn't cool." Sixto 87 300D |

You lose!
It went for $45,100. Whoever said "over $50,000" owes me money (you do remember our wager?)
