for $400. Clean body, no rust, runner. ( this is California after all ).

Gift for my mom.

Yes those wheels have to go.

Wowzer, bargain.

back when mercs were tanks. Maybe some of that chrome too

Wow. $400 and you're giving that to your mom? At that price, is that even road worthy?

I have 9 cars , what the hell do I need it for, my mom ( 70 year old ) on the other hand has two and my worthless sister is driving her daily ( GMC Yukon, because she totaled my moms C-class ), her only other option is a 56 T-bird ( pristine ) or my 91 Chevy total POS truck. She only drives local for basic needs ( maybe 25 miles a week ).

I'll have it sorted nicely by the end of the week. Quick inspection shows no major issues, I'll know for sure after I get it on the lift tomorrow.

What's a grey market car? I've never heard that terminology applied to a vehicle with a title.

Grey import vehicles are new or used motor vehicles and motorcycles legally imported from another country through channels other than the maker's official distribution system.

And yes, those wheels have to go.

9 cars and you cant find anything for her to drive beyond a beat up chevy? 😵


really nice find tho, i like that car. unfortunately, i have this image burned into my head from my youth of a very manly looking transvestite that used to drive a convertible one around where i grew up. i cant see these cars without that flashing into my brain. kills it.
