  • I'm infatuated with the late 60's / early 70's 200 series Benz

    My dad had one of these when I was a little kid. I loved it, it was just too cool to ride around in. He let me help him do a head r&r, I have vivid memories of sitting on the fender handing him tools and holding a light for him (and that is odd because I dont have many memories of my early childhood). He sold it after a while, and kinda forgot about them. I had a customer who bought a 67 250s for thier 16yo daughter. After seeing it, I had to have one.

    Ive been scouring ebay and craigslist, and havent found the "perfect" car yet, though I might be picking up something close on the way home from work.

    My Dad's was just like this, and it happens to be a rare color, so I havent found one for sale except on ebay, but it sold quick.




    Then I started seeing them with bags, and some customizing:










    and I know what must be done. Bags are a must, and Ive kicked around an lsx swap as well. I want a family cruiser more than I want to keep my 69 around, so it is getting "finished" so I can put it up for sale.

    I think those are WAY cooler than a 69 coupe. Do it.

      We've got some 80's,70's, and a couple late 60's models, all diesels but a 2 door couple with an inline 6 and dual carbs IIRC, but I dont remember any with the front end quiet like that.

              If you dont like classic style, you dont know what's good.

                These would be the sedan version of the car that was driven to vegas in The Hangover movie. Id love one, but I cant even think about affording a cabrio.

                        How hard are interior parts and such to find?

                            not easy, but not imposible. They are actually quite simple compaired to the newer models, with a very little amount of plastic. The dash and windshield trim is teak.

                              BTW, there was one on LS1tech for sale that had a LSx swap already done, but I think he took it off the market...
