Description

This is a very rare Mercedes Benz two-door coupe that is a driver. I was planning on completely restoring it but just don't have the time. These cars are worth much more than the 4-door sedans which are far more common. I have attached in the photos snap shots of the pricing values all the way from show car (this one is not) to fair condition.
Strengths:4 new Michelin tiresSteering is tightSuspension is solidTransmission shifts wellMoon roof is fully operationalVacuum door locks function properlyNo rust other than some minor surface spotsInterior is in good shape for its ageNewer Mercedes batteryNew starterNewer CD playerA great looking car!
Issues:
* The car sounds loud to me, might need a new muffler (some say this is normal for the non-turbos)
* All windows work except drivers side rear
* Is completely drivable but will eventually need a new rubber flex joint and half shaft boots. (parts are cheap and labor is pretty simple).
* Car was repainted and looks great from 5 feet. Most wouldn't mind. However, if you are a perfectionist, you would want to re-do it.
* Shifter bushings could be replaced, everything works, just sloppy for me (Again, parts are cheap and the labor is very simple).
* Odometer works but is showing signs of a worn internal part (very common with these cars)
