Hi guy's.
This is the new ride I will be adding to my family of Mercs.
It has a few issues but I'm sure they will be easily resolved.
Cheers

If at first you don't succeed,
Skydiving is not for you.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS NO
MATCH FOR NATURAL STUPIDITY.

If anything can go wrong,fix it!
The hell with Murphy!!
I never think of the future.It comes soon enough.

Nice looking car....congrats on the purchase

Beautiful car.

Love the color combo Dark Blue over Palomino.

The car was originally from Southern California,sold to a gentleman from Edmonton Alberta a few years ago.From my understanding it has not seen winter and has no rust what so ever.
The only few issues are a broken speedometer,and an alternator thats acting up probably a voltage regulator.So ill be on my way there in a short while and drive it back to Vancouver.

I hope there are no bad surprises when you see and check out the car in person. Very much good wishes for a safe trip. Don't drive it fast - no sense in it giving out hundreds of miles/kilometers from your home.

what year? looks like 85 or 86
