THIS VEHICLE WAS RESCUED FROM YEARS OF NEGLECT IN AN OLD FARM BARN. I GOT IT TO SEE IF IT COULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE. THE UNIQUE TIRES (8 TOTAL) AND RIMS CAME FROM ANOTHER 1971 MERCEDES 300 SEL STRETCH SEDAN. IT ALSO HAS THE ORIGINAL STEEL RIMS AND TIRES WITH ONE WHEEL MISSING THE HUBCAP. NEW PARTS TO GET RUNNING AND PASS STATE INSPECTION INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: NEW BATTERY,NEW WINDSHIELD, RADIATOR REPAIRED,SEVERAL DETERIORATED FUEL LINES REPLACED,DUAL CARBS CLEANED,FUEL FILTER REPLACED AND IT CAME TO LIFE. HAS BEEN PARKED UNDER COVER FOR THE PAST YEAR, NOT DRIVEN, BUT STARTED PERIODICALLY. THE TIRES AND RIMS ARE THE VERY UNIQUE. OTHER THAN THE CAR I GOT THESE FROM I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER SET LIKE THESE. I DID A SEARCH FOR "TWIN TIRE" AND DIDNT HAVE ANY LUCK. THE RIMS HAVE ISSUES WITH THE CHROME PEELING, AND THE TIRES NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE RIMS TO HAVE THE BEAD CLEANED AS THEY LEAK AIR AROUND THE BEAD. I TRIED FIX A FLAT BUT I DOSENT SEEM TO WORK AT THE BEAD. VERY FUN TO DRIVE BUT IT NEEDS SOME TIME PUT INTO IT THAT I DONT HAVE. COMES WITH A CAR COVER. LOOK CLOSE AT THE PICS AND USE THE ZOOM FEATURE. THIS CAR SOLD AS IS .I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, JUST ASK.
