tony, you need to critically evaluate the condition of the car before anyone can put forth a price. Be brutal. The rust is the prime issue. give it a thorough evaluation, from beneath the car and by removing floorboards and seeing what is happening on the pans, firewall, cross braces, door bottoms and junction of front door pillars and the sills. Did battery acid eat away at the sill and allow water to leak inside and rust all the shelving below? stuff like that. Does it run (don't berlirve the seller if he says it ran a few years back. Does te engine turn freely? I ignored the rust on my first two purchases and they both had to become donor cars to feed the rust-free third acquisition. four I paid $1100 for both, about the same as the price of rechroming door handles. If your prospect is rusty, but has plenty of good chrome and other parts, make a lowball offer and start reading the recent posts on loosening rusty nuts and bolts while looking for a better example to restore. Hubcaps and headliners are totally irrelevant. Go for body integrity, mechanics and make a realistic list of what it will really take to put it on the road. Don't be seduced. In our eyes they are all beautiful..."even ze orchestra is beautiful."�A;�A;--- On Mon, 11/2/09, QT - Tony <qtopic-8-KaeCj5npbQFQw@quicktopic.com> wrote:�A;�A;> From: QT - Tony <qtopic-8-KaeCj5npbQFQw@quicktopic.com>�A;> Subject: Mercedes-Benz Pontons (1953-1962)�A;> To: "QT topic subscribers" <qtopic-subs@quicktopic.com>�A;> Date: Monday, November 2, 2009, 9:57 AM�A;> --QT-------------------------------------------------------------�A;> &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; Reply by email or visit�A;> &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; http://www.quicktopic.com/8/H/KaeCj5npbQFQw/m1814�A;>; ------------------------------------------------------------- ---�A;> �A;> I found a 180 4 door sedan.
