Temptation...

[Sherlock]

So... I was at Market Collective on Sunday, a place where I go every month to browse local indie artists, hear music, and just simply catch the local arts scene vibe...

And then there was this...

Oops, sorry, wrong photo

those were some buskers, but there was also this right behind them...

A 1977 Mercedes-Benz 280E offered for $1,000 by one of the Market organizers - the gas engine of course, so I need this like I need a hole in my head and I'm not all that tempted, or...

what? what? Mercedes?

Here's the hole in the head ...

So now, what are you waiting for?

(PS - that's not a really desirable Mercedes ... but you could sell it for parts and get a good one. Say, late 1950s, early 1960s ...)

Thanks for the hole in the head...

Yeah, I do know this isn't one of the most desirable examples of a Mercedes... It's all in the eye of the beholder...

I'd love one that vintage, but it'd have to be a diesel. and preferably a wagon.

Actually that is a fine Mercedes. The 123 Body did rust a bit but mostly it was the Station Wagon. the 2.8 engine is the twin cam, quite nice if it runs well. The diesel was stronger, but without turbo drove like a turd. Personally I wouldn't have the 126 body of the same era. Too big and complicated.

I would rather have the

'k Dave... go wash yer mind out wif soap!

Horsemits' 300D Turbo (123 chassis) is the Bismark of th' fleet here! Quarter-mil onna clock, dear Diesela is th' GO-TO gal!
