1972 Mercedes 280SE 4.5, located in Milwaukee, WI (can deliver anywhere near southeastern Wisconsin)
I bought this thing as a beater project a year ago and spent over $2,000 getting it roadworthy and running properly, which it does. No mean feat for a 1972 car with factory electronic fuel injection (triggered by points, no less!)
Lots of new parts. New battery. Previous owner put a full stainless dual exhaust on it.
Unfortunately, I managed to lose the title before I could transfer it into my name, and since there's rumors that the LeMons organizers want to see more V8 Benzes in that mess, here it is for $900. Come fetch it out of my parents' yard. They'll love you. They'll cook you dinner.
The car has a brand spankin' new set of whitewall tires on it which I paid $400 for. No joke, the tires have less than 200 miles on them. Since wheels and tires are considered a safety accessory and exempt from the LeMons price limits I am considering them as optional equipment: $500 for the car, $400 for the tires.
That would be $900 total. I will even throw in the remanufactured water pump I ordered just in case.
Power steering pump could use a rebuild, apart from that it's tip-top.
Should be easy to recoup costs selling trim & interior spares off of it, too.
