You know the story if you love old German cars... You buy a good one, the right on. You spend too much time and too much money getting the body work perfect. You buy parts that make no sense because you're going to keep this one forever. You love it... Until the next one comes along.
And in that spirit, here is my desperately pretty (albeit unfinished) Mercedes w108. 
The car spent its life in Dallas with the original owner until it was sold to me, by way of a broker, upon his death. As such, the car was very rust free for one of these cars. With the only problem areas being a pinhole above one of the headlight bezels, and a quarter sized hole near the trunk drain. Before I bought it, the car had recently had a new OEM fuel tank with a nice holley electric pump and regulator installed. I converted the car over to webers, and pick up a manual transmission swap (less the clutch pedal and master cylinder) that will be included with the sale.
Electrically, the car is completely stock with the exception of a pertronix setup. And everything generally works as it should.
As for the paint, I took most of the car down to the metal, epoxy primed everything, and reshot the car in the original 'Dunkelrot' (albeit a touch darker to account for fading), before color sanding and shooting again, then having the car professionally buffed. The chrome is in excellent shape for a Texas car, and should be considered at the top end of 'driver'.
Mechanically, the car is very solid throughout. Unfortunately, the head gasket started leaking, and the carbs found a new home on my '73 BMW, so the car is undrivable. The cam shows no damage, and I believe the motor to be fine, I just didn't want to risk it.
As for the interior, the vynil seats are PERFECT, and a new carpet kit comes with it, though it's never been properly installed. Unfortunately, the same desert sun that saved the body, disintegrated the dash, wood trim, and window squeegees. So you should view the interior as a set of nice seats and door cards, but not much mor than that.
The car comes with many assorted records, as well as a few spares, and some books. But being it's age in Alabama, only comes with a bill of sale. Thank you for reading my sob story. This really is a great car, and I hope that it can find a good home to bring her back to her former glory. Please don't hesitate to reach out with ANY offer or trade, the worst I can say is no.
Car is located ~1.5hrs south of Atlanta in Opelika, AL 36801
