Thumbs up

I love the early style valve covers... and that's a slick ride.

Needs the 5.6L dual intake snorkel and TriYs

I glad someone close grabbed that one. Had I been near I certainly would have.
Good Job!
I think the guy didn't know what he had...Right?

Congratulations, John. I'm jealous! I think you have too many SECs . . .Oh wait, that would be impossible to have too many. I can't wait to see it in person.

Sweet ride! By far though, the most awesome of the awesomest are those pimpin' cookie monster skin seat covers!

Kidding aside, that is one nice find - congrats!

Yeah, the seat covers HAVE to go! What's underneath them? I'm assuming it's not pretty, not if someone put something THAT bad-looking over them.

Seats underneath are just about perfect. Interior is in excellent shape aside for a few splits in the dash.

Seriously now I may sell the 380SEC. Still kicking the idea around, anyone have any interest?

anyone know what the markings on the back of the cams mean? All I can make out is a "M" and what looks to be a "09"?

Also car still has the factory fire extinguisher, plus some kind of orthopedic seats? I've never seen ones like it before, hand pumps inbetween the seats on each side.

Can anyone run the VIN on the Russian site?

Is it good...

..to let us congregate?

Perhaps isolation therapy;. no Craig's List access or forums, etc...

I just need time to work on everything I already have sitting around.

I went to the Houston GTG the other day - WAY embarrassed at how dirty and "out of shape" my 500 was...

Had a good time anyway - had to slyly close my hood when the others weren't looking though - between Paul's 300SL and an Austin MB Club member's (Lee?) 500SL I was tucking my tail.

I AM going to latch on to an SEC one of these days... couch at night be damned.

Regards,
Kevin

P.S.: Nice find - do us a favor here and post lots of pictures of the new SEC resurrection
