    This is an exceptional numbers matching car in its original silver over black colors. The interior is original and in near flawless condition. The car has floor shift, air conditioning, and power windows. We have the factory data card which shows all the options. The engine was removed and the body stripped and beautifully painted a few years ago. The engine compartment was painted and the engine fully detailed to like new standards. Cars like this are very hard to find as many have been exported back to Europe. The car drives so well because of excellent maintenance and low original miles. Priced at $390,000.

    You and me.

    I remember when you could find a nice car for 35K.

    Last of the classics.

    I came home from the hospital as a newborn in 1980 in one of these! At any rate, how much was the paint job and when was it completed?

    Very nice. This era at MB produced cars with no equal. They have great performance, useability, and style. I think they are the "Gold Standard" in build quality and craftmanship.

    Great comments, all. It really is a timeless classic. Good question on the paint job. It's outstanding and was done several years ago. We didn't do it in our shop, however. Guess on the paint job based on quality, sanding, etc. is probably $60-80K.

    Wow. Now THIS takes me back a few years. When I was in high school, a buddy of mine had one of these. It was a light blue color with dark blue interior (if I remember right). It was his parents' "old" car and they gave it to my friend to drive to school when it was time for them to get a new car. We never thought anything about it at the time and used to give my buddy crap about driving an "old man's car". It was just an old, used car at the time but we had a good time taking it to the beach.

    I had no idea that prices for these had climbed so high. GLWS!
