Description:
1978 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class RED LEATHER
THIS CAR IS A TRUE FIND! I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A OLDER LADY THAT LOST HER HUSBAND. HE KEPT IT A CLIMATE CONTROLLED GARAGE IN KC, MO. THEY HAD MONEY. THE 107'S HAD A RECALL YEARS AGO THAT THE FIX WAS TO WELD STEEL TO THE FRONT SUBFRAME?? THIS GUY PAID TO HAVE THE NEW UPGRADE STYLE SUBFRAME INSTALLED. I FOUND THIS OUT WHEN I HAD PELHAM BROTHERS RESTORATION IN CLINTON. IA REPLACE THE STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY IN IT BECAUSE THE SEERING WHEEL HAD PLAY IN IT. THAT WAS $2000.00. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN MY COLLECTION FOR 5 OR 6 YEARS. I BOUGHT IT WITH 64K MILES I BELIEVEAND NOW IT HAS 66K AND SOME CHANGE. IT IS A TRUELY SPECTACULAR CAR AND AS ORIGINAL AS THEY GET. ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE "BAG PHONE ANTENNA" ON THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER. :) IF YOU LOOK VERY CLOSELY TO THE HOOD, FROM STRAIGHT ABOVE, YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL PAINT CHECKING A LITTLE BIT. BUT ITSVERY HARD TO SEE.THE WIRE WHEELS HAVE BENZ EMBLEMS BUT NOT SURE IF THEIR ORIGINAL THEY'RE INOK SHAPE. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL HARD TOP FOR THE CAR.
