Vehicle description

NO RESERVE! THIS CAR IS A TRUE FIND! I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A OLDER LADY THAT LOST HER HUSBAND. HE KEPT IT A CLIMATE CONTROLLED GARAGE IN KC, MO. THEY HAD MONEY. THE 107"S HAD A RECALL YEARS AGO THAT THE FIX WAS TO WELD STEEL TO THE FRONT SUBFRAME? THIS GUY PAID TO HAVE THE NEW UPGRADE STYLE SUBFRAME INSTALLED. I FOUND THIS OUT WHEN I HAD PELHAM BROTHERS RESTORATION IN CLINTON. IA REPLACE THE STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY IN IT BECAUSE THE SEERING WHEEL HAD PLAY IN IT. THAT WAS $2000.00. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN MY COLLECTION FOR 5 OR 6 YEARS. I BOUGHT IT WITH 64K MILES I BELIEVE AND NOW IT HAS 66K AND SOME CHANGE. IT IS A TRUELY SPECTACULAR CAR AND AS ORIGINAL AS THEY GET. ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE "BAG PHONE ANTENNA" ON THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER. :) IF YOU LOOK VERY CLOSELY TO THE HOOD, FROM STRAIGHT ABOVE, YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL PAINT CHECKING A LITTLE BIT. BUT ITS VERY HARD TO SEE. THE WIRE WHEELS HAVE BENZ EMBLEMS BUT NOT SURE IF THEIR ORIGINAL THEY"RE IN OK SHAPE. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL HARD TOP FOR THE CAR. FEEL FREE TO CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
