My latest find
 

Sold the '66 Cadillac and well onto the next one. Here is a nice treat, a European addition 350 SLC 1976 Mecedes Benz. Rides super nice. Plan on redoing the interior, carpet set, seat covers, fix two small cracks in the dash. Also, some minor paint work here and there. There are less of these in the states and the guys over in Europe are buying ours here up. The instruments are all in metric, which I think is cool.

Re: My latest find
 

I grew up driving a '71 Benz 250C, and man that thing hauled and handled with that straight 6 with dual carbs.

Very cool and underrated old cars.

Re: My latest find
 

If anyone may know of someone interested in it let me know via PM. I will let it go for $4500 before I get into it, then I will price it out at $7500 once I am done doing what I mentioned above.

Re: My latest find
 

No offense,but I think this should get bumped to the Cars For sale forum.
It could benefit you better.

Re: My latest find
 

the problem is that it is not a "super car". So where to share it? Other Muscle I would presume.

Re: My latest find
 

That´s a very nice C107 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Where do you found the Car?

I´m a Mercedes Guy, if you have any questions about it, let me know https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Just some lady that needed to sell it to pay off some bills. She did not know the history so that is all I know. I have been running it around town and really enjoy it but have decided to sell it to help pay for my '66 Mustang Convertible interior conversion. I just listed it on Ebay and will take $4500 or what ever more I can get. Here is the listing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...#ht_7119wt_1071

Ya, C107 but in metric! A real euro car. It is pretty cool. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Hm, i don´t know how wanted these Types in the U.S...

The Mercedes Car Dealer can see the History of the Car with the VIN. So you can see what kind of Repairs the Car has got and you can see all special Options...

Maybe this puts your price a little bit higher.

A clean Maintenance book is also important.

And a original Car are better selling than a tuned Car!
(At least in these Car Categroies...)

Re: My latest find
 

Greetz,

That translator will be helpful. Thanks.

I was thinking about keeping it but it will need a new paint job and interior and I would hate to be upside down on it. It is a good looking, fun Mercedes car to drive though. It handles real well. Very nice for a 1976. Must be that good German engineering!

Just curious as to what the value might be there where you are? In US Dollars.

That´s the same like with your Oldtimer in the U.S.. For a Mercedes Oldtimer you become 99% of all Parts here... not cheap, but good!

Re: My latest find
 

Greetz, thanks for the link. That one has a nice lighter blue paint job on it which looks good. Maybe someone over there will buy it? I have it priced right.

Re: My latest find
 

Het Greetz, I found in the original owners manual, the original owners name and stuff including phone number is printed in it. Can you do a search and see if he/she exist? How close are you to where they used to live, perhaps still there?

Re: My latest find
 

Dransfeld Germany is about 400 Km or 250 miles north of Magstadt (Jochen's home).

Route from Magstadt to Dransfeld.

There is a Martin Rutschmann in Dransfeld on Heinrich-Sohnrey-Strasse 55 with a telephone number of 05502 30 06 24. This is very close to the other address listed in the posting above. Probably related if not the same person.

Wow, that's pretty close considering.

I am thinking about keeping the '76 350 SLC. I have been having too much fun driving around in it and tinkering with it. Been fixing a few things but man it sure is a great ride! Having only paid $2,500 bucks for it I can afford to fix it up nice and not go upside down on it. The only major is new interior seat covers for the front and back, and a quality paint job.

The Man in the Paperwork was the 1st Owner of the Car. Later the Son was getting the Car. And it was only a Summertime Car in a Doctor´s Family... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

The Car was sold on a Car-Dealer in Goettingen with only 60000 KM on it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

The pre Owner was very confused about my Call, but later he was really happy to know that his Car was living and driving in Idaho https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

He ask me if you have renew the front Fenders... they was very rusty in the joints (an old Mercedes-Benz Problem)... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Greetz,

That's great! I did not think that he would still be there after all these years. I will check the front fenders and see how they look. I will check the manual that contains his name and information and see what the date was at 60,000 km's.

I wonder if he may be interested in getting his old car back? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: My latest find
 

When I am done fixing it some more I will get some better pictures I can email you to share with the original owner. No worries if he is not interested in buying the car but I bet he would like seeing it again. Thanks Greetz for contacting him, you rock !

Jochen, thanks for removing the "Greetz" from your signature.
I was bothered seeing Greg calling you Greetz all the time, instead of Jochen.
Anyway, it's all good. I hope the good Her Doktor likes what he has found out about his old Benz.

Re: My latest find
 

No Problem Guys... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

My English is very limited and i know that.

I read your lines, was thinking about it and write an answer. In between i´m read some of my Translator Books (Normal Conversation, Technical... etc.)

I´m doing a correspondence Couse in English at the Time...

It´s called "First Cambridge Certificate in English"...

Then i hopes i can read, write, speak and understand your language some better https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Besides i´m poach in your territory, not the other way round https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

And i´m very, veery thankful that you have accept me here in your Community, although i´m not a owner of a MuscleCar... only a Beretta Z26...

THANK´s a lot Guys https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: My latest find
 

Jochen, you are a Driver, which means that you like to go fast. Something that most, if not all of us, like to do.
That alone makes you welcome here. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: My latest find
 

Thank´s Andy.

It´s very beautiful to listen those lines... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I know, there are many fakes in the www. We in Europe have the same Problem... many Guys from eastern Europe or other Country´s want to come to Germany. Many have no education and / or experience... so they find no Employment and stress the puplic treasury.

And ever when i say i want to went to the US and living & working there, so i have the impression, that the US People those words not really like... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

But i don´t have the Impression here.

I feel at home with you Guys here https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
