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

Yeah, but you could just knock the competition off the track.

its not a taxi?

Would that really be a good Lemons candidate?

Seems like it would be way too heavy, way too underpowered, and brakes/suspension parts would be nearly impossible to find and expensive when you do.

Just curious...

with a 302 in it, you might be loosing some dependability, but you gain some parts availability. Brakes are disk, so get a custom set of pads from Carbotech and try to avoid burning them the hell up. Handling isnt great, but you can lower it down some and make it work. Class C, and IOE candidate. You win both and make more than the winner on laps.

Would be a pimp LeMons candidate, except that he wants way too much for it.

EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Regardless, if you can buy the pair for under a grand, you should probably jump on it. Anything you buy is gonna need some parts.

Bingo.

[Baron Von Crowder]

I can see your hoo-ha.

see what happens when I have a pocket full of cash from the sale of a Grande...

I dont want anything close to that kind of project. I guess just swapping the front clip from the red car to the blue one would get me closer to what I want. Then I could put the blue clip on the red one and go race...

The best thing about that red one is that they removed those full-width bumpers front/rear, and left the bumperettes. That's a cool touch, didn't realize you could do that. Now, what he did with those cheezy 1986 ground effects is a little weird, but swapping in some nice subtle looking roll pans would really make that look good.

I'd offer $800 for both. It looks like they've been sitting there a long LONG time. Then at the very least you'd have enough parts to get a project started.

Finally went and snapped a few shots of the 2 I know of. I like the blue one, red one, not so much

Thanks for grabbing picts man, I appreciate it. That blue one doesnt look terrible, just a big rough around the edges. Im stuck on the S models that got the quad headlamps. I dont know why, but the single lamp just doesnt do it for me.

That red one has some potential!!!!
