    Very impressive looking. The only noticeable flaw would be the dash cracks. Wish it had PW.

    Not too unusual for a Merc of this era to have crank up windows; unusual for it to have power seats w/o power windows.

    The bidding's up to $5100, but the reserve hasn't been met yet.

    The dash will not be cheap to repair. The underneath's been painted, but the texture still looks rough. This makes me think they used POR-15 or a similar product, which makes me wonder if they did paint over rust. That wouldn't bother me too much if the chassis were stable and as long as the price didn't go too high. I wouldn't want to pay more than ~$6500 if that were the case. The car is a little east of Allentown -- definitely the rust belt, so a thorough exam is warranted.

    Appears woodgrain has been replaced. It looks too glossy.
