			No, those wheels came off a brand new 380SL in 1984 and where in storage for about 18yrs are so. I just lucked out finding them.

			WOW! That is simply outstanding.  Today I test drove a 98 SL in a similar color, but it didn't look as stunning as yours.  The 107s are just in a league of their own, and if I buy the 129 I'll still keep the 75 450SL.  Just wish it looked as good as your 500!  Enjoy it.

			I thought all 500SLs had a rear spoiler.  It's very nice.

			Looks beautiful Eric. 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
			Although I thought it was a beauty before it went to the shop! When I get back to the house - sometime in February, I will have to find my "before" shot and repost it.

			Simply ravishing and.....delicious! Love the sheen of that blue! 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	How much was that paint job, if I may ask? Also, what type of smog equipment does yours have on it? Mine has the Lambda system (no air pump) and precats/cat in back. Was it hard to get it to pass smog? I was told the frequency valve is worthless and should be disconnected.  |

			David, 
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
		
			Every now and then it acts up, I just send it in for tuning. Not sure what kind of system it is. It does have a smog pump. The paint job was around 5k, but $2500 of that was to fix the door. A young woman rammed me pulling into my driveway. Out of pocket on my side was $2500 and 1k for misc. items i.e. new chrome, new rubber seals, and so on.
