*I just uploaded undercarriage pictures, fter getting a few emails to do so"

I'm also uploaded a copy of the original Data Card from Germany accompanied by the MBUSA translation of the Data Card - See the end of the Photos

All the numbers Match on this vehicle other than the hood which was either repaired or replaced at some point.

I purchased this car 2 years ago.

It was fully restored 20 years ago and then sat in a garage in Virginia.

So I had a lot of good to work with.

My wife loved the color and we bought it. But she regrets buying a manual transmission and wants me to find her an automatic.

The engine and transmission had been rebuilt before & a many new parts were restored and

preserved.

I have an organized folder with all the parts purchased from the MB USA Irvine Classic Center and

all the different repairs and shops it has gone thru.

Different systems rebuilt and upgraded:

1- Braking System: New Master Cylinder, ront calipers rebuilt, ew shoes and pads installed front and back as well as

two new rear brake cylinders.

2- Suspension: All steering arms, ushings, hocks and bearings replaced.

3- Tires: 4 new BF Goodridge 3"white walls installed

4- Electrical: New Alternator with all wiring cleaned up and new light bulbs installed inside and out

5- Differential: Rebuilt, ith new original boot as well asallfouraxel bearings replaced.

6- Water Pump New, ith New Water Pump Housing & Radiator was rebuilt into a 4 core high density with new thermostat and hoses.

7- Manual Shifter: All the bushings for the shifter have been replaced.

8- Both doors: latches were replaced and the entire car has working locks with original keys that match the data card

9- Convertible top is in great condition with the rear plastic window is shiny and clear.

10- Fuel Injection Pump -Rebuilt by Fairchild Industries.

11-New Fuel Pump, as tank was rebuilt, amp; Full Major Tune Up, alves have been adjusted, ew wires, lugs, ap & rotor & oil change.

I spent around $25,000 in parts and did most of the work myself, ut also had a few different

Mercedes specialists help me restore this car.

This car has some rust issues. I spent $2500 and repaired the front end rust that made it safe

and in the future: This car will need a paint job and the rest of the rust dealt with.

This is a car for someone who wants to enjoy a turn key reliable convertible and in a few years

when the value exceeds $100K, he only thing it will need is a nice paint job.

I welcome vehicle inspections and please feel free to call me with any questions.

I scanned all my receipts into two PDF files that I will email people who contact me and are serious buyers.

Thank you,
