Selling my 1973 Mercedes 350 SL. I originally purchased in the California and shipped it out to my second home on Cape Cod five years ago. Reliable and fun daily driver. Check out brief video at https://youtu.be/Vkj5VoTISC8. Note that the white smoke from the tail pipes is condensation from starting cold, not gray smoke from burning oil. Looks good, but has some rust issues at the front rails, floor, behind the front wheel wells, and misc. surface rust in other places. The rust does not affect driveability, and here is no chassis sag or loss of stiffness that I have noticed. I patched the floor on the drivers side with fiberglass, which has held up well but I had hoped to weld in new floor pans at some point. Engine runs great, transmission works fine. Soft top looks new, has barely seen daylight. Has properly fitting sheepskin seat covers, the seats underneath are original and are very worn. Replaced the front brake cylinders last year. Heater, lights, wipers all work - haven't tried the AC but suspect it at least needs a recharge, since I never used it. Car is located on Cape Cod in East Falmouth, MA. Clear CA title with custom license plates. Please note that the car is at my second home, I am only there on occasion. I can send the winning bidder the title and keys after payment and provide the address so the winning bidder can pick it up. If help is needed with shipping, I will be there from Nov. 28 to Dec. 5. I relisted because I didn't realize the Buy-it-now price disappears as soon as someone bids unless there is a reserve price. So I added a low reserve price of $2500 so that the Buy-it-now price doesn't immediately disappear.
