EVERYONE LIKES TO FIND THAT DEAL THAT CAN BE HAD FOR A STEAL BECAUSE THE CAR IS NO LONGER NEEDED AND THE OWNER JUST WANTS IT OUT OF THE YARD......THAT'S EXACTLY THE CASE WITH THIS OLD MERCEDES. THE GENTLEMAN OWNER IS 90 YEARS OLD THIS MONTH AND CAN NO LONGER DRIVE. THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND IT NEEDS TLC FROM SITTING MORE THAN DRIVING. THIS 500 SL IS GOING TO THE HIGH BIDDER NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE. THERE IS NO RESERVE AND IT HAS TAKEN ME A YEAR TO CONVINCE MY OLD FRIEND TO PART WITH IT WHILE THERE'S STILL SOMETHING LEFT. THE WEATHER HERE IN FLORIDA WILL SURELY KILL IT IF IT DOESN'T GO DOWN THE ROAD PRETTY SOON. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND IT WAS ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 1000 MILES BEFORE THE CAR WAS PARKED. I'M TOLD THE BLOCK WAS BRAND NEW AND ALL THE ACCESSORIES WERE SWITCHED FROM THE OLD ENGINE TO THE NEW ONE. MY FRIEND CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT FAIL.ED ON THE ORIGINAL ENGINE, SORRY. THE ENGINE IN THE CAR NOW IS RUNNING HORRIBLE AND ACTS LIKE IT MAY HAVE A STUCK VALVE. THE FUEL IS OLD AND WILL HAVE TO BE DRAINED SO IT'S SAFE TO SAY THIS CAR IS A PROJECT AND NEEDS TLC. THE INTERIOR IS SHOT AND THE CARPET HAS BEEN REMOVED AND THROWN AWAY. THERE IS CHROME IN THE TRUNK THAT WAS REMOVED FROM THE SIDE OF THE CAR FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. EBAY IS HAVING A PROBLEM AND CANNOT ACCEPT THE VIN NUMBER IN THE PROPER BOX. THE VIN IS WDB10704612001328. THE TIRES AND WHEELS LOOK GOOD AND THE PAINT IS STILL IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. THE ONLY RUST VISIBLE IS IN THE TRUNK LID ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LOCK, THE TOP IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND THE HARDTOP IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION ALSO. THE HARDTOP IS IN STORAGE AND IT IS INCLUDED WITH THE CAR. I'VE TRIED TO THINK OF EVERYTHING BUT I PROBABLY MISSED SOMETHING SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL STEVE AT 772-201-1905 TILL 11PM EASTERN TIME. I TRAVEL A GOOD BIT AND IF I'M GOING YOUR WAY I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP WITH DELIVERY. I HAVE A PICKUP TRUCK AND A CAR TRAILER AND I WILL SOON BE TRAVELING THROUGH FL, GA, NC, AND TN AROUND LABOR DAY. I'LL CHARGE SOMETHING FOR FUEL AND MY TIME BUT I WON'T TRY TO KILL YA. I'LL TAKE JUST ABOUT ANY TYPE OF PAYMENT AND THE FUNDS WILL HAVE TO CLEAR BOTH BANKS BEFORE I CAN RELEASE THE CAR AND TITLE. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK WHERE THE CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO THIS COUNTRY ON 2/1/83. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOD BLESS.
