Thats it I give up!

http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=277277

I am so glad this car sold, because half way through reading the thread yesterday I said to myself if this thing is still around its mine, thankfully it was sold! I fell hard for that cars lines, really hard.

I'm buying another MB after I'm done with the next project. Probably this winter....

I just can't go much longer without owning one....thinking its either going to be an SL500 or something cool and classic from the 70's or 60's.

Phew! I thought this was an anti-punctuation thread when I read the title, but the exclamation mark confused me.

That was a purty one!

My uncles partner has a 50k mile SL I might work on. Just need to convince him to buy a new one so I can get his old one.

Are we talking R129 or R230?

Its a 129, don't know the year pre 1995. He keeps thinking about getting an R230 to replace it.


I have always liked that SL, and want a convertable.

How deep are your pockets?

1957 220S, go for it

Do it.




Then again I am biased. The R129 is my favorite of the SLs.

The R129 is very good and nice examples are getting pretty affordable. My uncle recently purchased a very nice '99 SL500 with 60k somewhere in the 12k-13k range (IIRC). Because he didn't listen to me (not checking if the top worked......... NEVER take it to the dealer for example) he's had some expensive lessons though.

This is on my list:

Silver Arrow
