This was father"s vehicle which he acquired in 2013 and put on the road in 2014. Unfortunately, he passed unexpectedly in 2015 and this vehicle sat until the fall of 2019. At which point the majority of the above listed maintenance was performed by a Mercedes enthusiast and former mechanic. It starts right up and runs as it should but this is all the history I have on the vehicle due to the circumstances and age of the vehicle. This vehicle is almost 50 years old so please do not expect a show room condition vehicle, those sell for substantially more than we"re asking.
Known flaws: Carpet is in fair condition, there is a hole near the gas pedal The passenger side visor clip is missing and visor is held up with a zip tie The interior green to black conversion is incomplete Paint on the right rear quarter panel is cracking. Driver side fender has some rust through. Driver side rocker chrome trim is missing. Belt for A/C might be missing. Vehicle has A/C but I was unable to verify functionality. Exterior has multiple spots that were touched up with white paint. Some black over spray on the paint from interior color change. Some white over spray on vehicle trim. Inside edge of hard top has some surface rust beginning.
I would encourage anyone interested to see the vehicle in person prior to bidding. However, if that it not possible I"ve added a few videos to youtube and can provide additional photos as requested.
