1980 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series AMG

THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!!!You are looking at a Very rare 1980 Mercedes 280CE Euro AMG in great shape that has not seen the road in at least 15 years, I bought this off a 89 year old man in Ocala Florida by the name of Mr David Saure who had it his garage for at least 15 years. Mr Saure bought this second hand at Silver Star Motors Mercedes in Winchester Kentucky as a Euro import where he had it serviced back in the 80's, European models where not allowed to be sold new in the united states due to so called safety and emissions regulations, he had it repainted as well in Kentucky and stated the body shop lost the front lower valence and the AMG emblems, Back then AMG where their own entity, Mercedes did not own them, he then moved to Ocala Florida in the 90's, I have the original title still in his name and every receipt, registration record he kept for this car as service records, traffic tickets and owners manuals written in German as well. I have had this car in storage for the past 3 years, i put in a brand new fuel pump, fuel distributor and oil change, the car starts right up now but wont idle when it warms up and i am out of time and money, i have $750 into the fuel distributor alone :o, the mice have eaten some of the plug wires and vacuum lines under the hood, ive replaced what lines i could reach as i dont have access to a lift or even concrete to jack it up on. The car runs and lot drives but the brakes are very spongy, there is a trunk load of extra parts that came with the car including a replacement taillight, another fuel distributor and plunger assembly and the original spare tire as well. it has all 4 of the "15" BBS wheels in great shape and the vacuum controlled headlights as well. There are two pictures you can see of rust that has gone through, one is below the battery box the other is the underside of the trunk lid, floor and trunk floor are solid as far as i can tell without putting it on a lift with no rust at all in the typical spots and no sighs of water getting inside the car. Please come and look at this car before you bid, it is located in Ocala Florida at a storage unit, you can not drive this car out of here,it is a 38 year old car that has not rolled down the road in 15 years,it will need to be trailerd or put on a flatbed.There is NO WARRANTY... The vacuum controlled headlights, front bumper and wheels are worth more than than the starting bid!!If you have any questions feel free to text me at 845 216 6366, it can be looked at after 5pm during the week and any time on the weekend with prior arraignments.The vehicle can stay where it is until the end of the month, after that you can make arrangements with the storage company..
