lol, where to start?

I actually kinda like the continental thing, though a little less gaudy and a little more classic looking, might look really good.

Rims are way too new looking for the body.
Interior looks comfortable, and looks like it was a time consuming job, but im not a fan of that material they used.

should have been black and white two tone paint, not a rag top. Don't think that works on this car.

Overall looks like a car where a lot has been done appearance wise to a particular taste, not a lot done in the engine bay, probably not that well in tune. Wrong battery for one.

This looks like a 1000 dollar car that 8 thousand dollars of custom work was done, and the overall value of the car is still 1000-1500 bucks.



what does he mean by "stern box"? the diff? the trunk?

That takes the term "pimped" to a whole new level.

Incredible.

Unbelievable, the car only has 5 spaces on the odometer, and this guy says it only has 50 some thousand miles.
He doesn't show any paperwork, and doesn't mention it, so I get the impression there may not be complete paperwork.

By these standards, my 1974 240D only has 60,000 miles on it.

Also, I feel like the hood might be slightly tweaked, notice the big gap on the passenger side?

That is one beautiful W115. For the buy it now price of $19,500, he should have pictures of the engine and the bottom side with it up on a hoist.

Does that model have a hood catch on each side? maybe one is not latched?

Regarding the pictures showing a close-up of the Becker radio, what are the buttons marked "BC"? I've never seen that before.

That interior does look rather comfortable. I wonder how much it cost to have it done up?

Do all your MB's in the US have bumpers that could be mistaken for a bus stop seat?

from 1974 on, yup. They had to take a 5mph hit without damage to the bumper or the car. That was reduced to 2.5 mph in 1982.
