Chassis no. 1980427500110. Silver Gray Metallic with a black cloth top over red leather. 2996/240p, 4-speed, tool roll, Becker Mexico radio, books, brochure, original jack.

Evaluation: MB Classic Zertifikat. Displayed at 2013 Carmel Mission Concours. Second in class at 2014 Hillsborough Concours. Excellent paint with only two small repaired chips on the front near the grille. Great interior with some slight wrinkles and sagging in the driver’s seat. Driver’s-side visor slightly marred. Excellent chrome and brightwork throughout. Engine compartment detailed to exacting standards, better than factory. An excellent, lightly used restoration.

Bottom Line: A strong but fair price considering the standards of the restoration, and the sixth most expensive car in Kissimmee this year.
