A bit more info on the car:

It was one of the first C36s to arrive in Memphis, and the owner of the local dealer took it as is personal car for the first 4 years and 50,000 miles. The car was starmarked in '99 at 50k, sold to Ricardo Heros. I have his invoice, which totaled $32,000 for the purchase. The third owner bought it after it was traded in to his brother's dealership at 90k, paying somewhere in the teens back in 2004. During his ownership, he spent nearly ten grand in maintenance and repairs, including a complete head rebuild, new wiring harness, new throttle actuator, and near complete brake job.

I bought it with 132k. So far the repair list stands at a dead stereo LCD, and a noisy fan coming from the climate control air sample pump, which sits above the dome light. I will also repaint the road rashed front bumper, and have the wheels cleaned up a bit.

I've already put 750 miles on it! Despite me spanking it reguarly during the trip home it got a respectable 23mpg.

Oh you did? I was on a cruise all week, so I guess I didn't get it.

Man, nice find. I'm jealous.

I think you should call it

Stephanie.

It looks like a Stephanie to me.

Does it have the same radio as my cab? if you do the swap I might be interested in your one out of the C36 if the volume knob isnt flakey. I can probably fix the lcd

Yes, its the same and works just fine, other than the display. When I swap them out in the next few days I will give it to you for the cost of a flat rate box.

That interior is pretty sweet, though I think overall I am more of a W126 AMG person....a 500SEC euro is what I want. Its got to be both fast and big.

Red crush.

I like the red baron reference though.

Looks very nice.
