Look at the undercarriage! No rust on floorboards, mazing condition. The trunk seal held up so there are no rust problems in trunk. Chrome is in great condition.
The engine is in fantastic condition. Turns over every time and runs like a dream.
Replaced shifter bushings and assembly in 2013 for smooth shifting action.
Had power steering rebuilt in August of 2015 by Ken at Westside Mercedes in Santa Monica, A, s well as changed oil and tuned the engine.
This car is the perfect candidate for a full restoration
For full restoration this car will need full paint, ncluding some body resurfacing.
The hood needs alignment (See pics, river side is not flush).
The rear windshield on hard top needs to be replaced
The previous owner had replaced 2 out of 3 sections of exhaust pipes, he front section would be next (though doesn't impact driving performance)
The radiator will eventually need to be worked on, hough this could be years out if you weren't undertaking a full restore.
Engine seals are in good shape, il pressure stays spot on, nd engine remains cool, ven in LA traffic.
All headlights, aillights, linkers, rake lights are working, orn is operational. Original Becker Europa Radio is included but is not hooked up.
Levers for air flow and temperature will need to be tended to on dashboard, nd right blinker on dash lights/blinks, ut left does not (both blinkers on taillights work though)
