Current Exterior Condition:

This car had been in storage and driven occasionally over the last three years.
Since 2009 the car has developed exterior rust primarily around the taillights and in and around the trunk. The rust is quite advanced and needs to be addressed. Some additional rust around the driver’s side roof area, some around the passenger door and under the front doors as well. The front cap (front fenders, hood, front bumper) is free of rust, the floor boards are also free of rust. The exterior paint has lost, in some areas, the clear coat.
The car shows straight light on either side from front to back with overall good even spacing between the panels. The front windshield, had some pebble chips and some clouding, so a new windshield was installed in the last 6 months. The original spoiler package is intact, without damage.

This classic Mercedes Benz is in sound mechanical condition, with a strong well running engine and a smooth shifting transmission. Beautiful set of Mercedes Benz 16-inch EVO wheels and a full spoiler package including the rare Euro rear window spoiler and modified front lights and grille. It does however, need restoration work, rust repair, paint and interior cosmetics. It is currently running and can be driven as needed. Car was restored in 2009, it provided good service for 10 years and is well deserving of a second restoration.
