I found a 1982 380SL across the street from where I was working yesterday.

It was behind a fence and appeared to have been there for some time.

So I see the owner and asked him if it was for sale.  He's an attorney, blab blab blab. He say's how much would offer me , I say how much do you want blab blab blab.

He say's the car restored would be valued at about 14K.  He says everything works but he hasn't driven much since Katrina (2005).  The plate has an 06 date and he said the interior is somewhat worn and the headlight lense is cracked.  So he says the car is worth about 4 to 6K as is.

I would give 2K at the most cause the car is cool.

What ya'll think is it a money maker?  I'll try to get some pictures.

Run fast and hard Clink. You thought DaBomb was a nightmare? You ain't seen nuthin yet. Maybe for a $$$$$ collector he might need it for a collection.

Doesn't the name Katrina tell you anything. You could extract Penicillin from the interior I'd bet.  And that's why it still sits where it does.

It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damned near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.

Why are the Misfits so skeptical? :SoapBox:

Listen and listen well, Col. Clink, you have been given very sage advice about that car!

Clink, make this a rule. Never buy anything that was made in Germany.
It will give you nothing but grief.

Not sure what I'm looking at here Mr. Denrep Sir.

Are we looking at the resistor? with the obviously bad, overheated commection, or the thin strip of metel under it?

Not really being into the electronics, I'm at a loss to look like I know what I'm talking about.


Because I don't.   :-[

I think we Misfits discussed it before, because the pic has been in the gallery since last year.

It was mentioned in January.

Not sure why you uploaded it back in September ...

You did mention German electronic a few days earlier.  :chin:
