Not all correct. Spent $7,000+ on rust and paint - seems a little low.

A lot of nits to pick on this one. Undercoating looks like it was applied with a spatula. Trunk color is black not Dunkelgrau. Bad interior work (seats and door panels). Could be a good runner though. Could be.

This ad begs a question or possibly at least an opinion poll... do "Euro Spec" cars hold the same value as "US Spec" cars here in the US?

Sure looks like Smoke Silver to me, too. A MB color but not this era. I actually like it on this car though.
