Another 107 300sl 5-spd surfaces!!

[Doobster6]

Folks, check out the enclosed link. I just found this on eBay (7-14-08) but not in the 'SL' section so it's probably gone unnoticed. It's (purportedly) a 1986 Euro 300SL with 67k miles and a 5-spd. Looks great in the pictures but then again, everything looks better on eBay. Has the square headlights and bigger bumpers.
Based on very unscientific inferences regarding 'appearance-frequency' data (compared to 1988 BMW 735i 5-spds), I'm going to now guess that there may be as many as 25 to 50 of these cars roaming around in the US attracting no particular attention, on any given day. I know of my blue '86, another blue '86 running around DC (Jim's), a foreign diplomat's car and now this one. Since mine was driving along humbly under the radar in Delaware, and now this one pops up in Florida, what's to say there's not a couple dozen more running around out there that only SL lovers would even recognize?
Anyhow, one of us (but not me unfortunately) should snag this car though the seller ('BubbaSales') apparently knows he's got something unusual, and the reserve hadn't yet been tripped at $5k. As of this writing there's barely more than 9 hours left!!!
