Guess what car was given to me?

[Motorhead350]

Now I really don't think I deserve this at all, but I'll accept it. It was given to me from my dad yesterday and it was in storage for the past 11 years. I'll post pics as soon as it's done being tuned up and so far it was rated as a 10. :eek: It's actually nothing fast, at least so I think. Ok take your guesses. :D

[RCSignals]

I'll double your money paid and give you a dollar for it

[Motorhead350]

It's worth much more than money. it was the car my dad had his first date with my mom in. So as some of you would say it was the begining of my life. Wither thats good or bad is subjective. :lol: I don't think I'll be selling this Benz for a dollar.

[Bluerauder]

Nope, but heres a hint: it's not American. :eek:
A Yugo with ALL the available options. :rolleyes: .... including the tow truck to bring it home.

[Dragcity]

Hmmm, Let me check my math here .

Must be a 1985 Mercedes Benz SL COnvertible, if I know your Dad....

[Eric91Z]

Is it an SL500?

[Motorhead350]

You are correct, but you got the year wrong. Also you didn't mention any numbers.

[superiorone]

bmw..........................

[sabtaj1]

1973 450SL convert

[Mike Poore]

I was thinking a 1987 -8 560SL.....stored about 10 years, that'd be about right.
Lucky you, if I'm right, Dom; those are terriffic cars.

[Motorhead350]

Actually my mom has an 88, but thats not the year I just got. It's older than that. You guys are so close.

[CRUZTAKER]

You now have a winter car.;)

Throw some snows on that schlechter junge and drive it!

[Mike Poore]

Well then, it's a 450SL since the 560 didn't come out until '86. So, now it comes down to year, huh?

I'll start....1984 450SL :D

[96DiamondVIII]

So if Motorhead is 21, the car can't possibly be anything newer than an '86. If his parents had their first date in that car...assuming at least 2 years between 1st date and 1st child (and that's if they were quick) you come to '84, and that's if the car was brand spanking new.

So I'll say 1980 450SL.

[MACFORD88]

Its A Hyundai

[Motorhead350]

So I'll say 1980 450SL.

Older, but your the closest so far. This car was around well before me let's say that.

[SC Cheesehead]

Webley-Vickers 50/80

[Dragcity]

Bro. I know I am sooooo close, but don't know my Mercedes very well.

I got everyone started, they'll have to finish...

Maybe it's a 1983.

I have to ask. Is there a stain on the seat???????

[fastblackmerc]

I have to ask. Is there a stain on the seat???????

Or "California Potato Chips"?

[Motorhead350]

I have to ask. Is there a stain on the seat???????

No thats in the back of my Blazer. :lol: I said it was older than 1980... the car that is.

[ik04]

VW bug
Subaru 360
Nash Metropolitan

I've had all three of those cars. The Metro was not really a Nash, it was an Austin.

[Motorhead350]

Endless thats a little too old and mine in an SL convertible. All we need now is the correct year and numbers after the letters SL.

[sicilianmarquis]

an Austin Healy? with the woping 40 Hp motoR?

[RoyLPita]

....380sl.....

[MarauderTJA]

350 SL or a 300 SL

[Motorhead350]

It's actually a lower number, but it looks great. Alright still need the number and year!

[Richy04]

Ok,
280sl?
220sl?
250sl?
300sl?
350sl?
380sl?
230sl?
450sl?
500sl?
560sl?

[Aren Jay]

a 1986 K car

I would be excited too.

[Motorhead350]

Ok,
280sl?

Correct, now what year?

[arejayesss]

I would say 1977

[Motorhead350]

Older, but your the closest so far!

[RedMerc04]

is it a 75?

[Motorhead350]

It's a few years older than that.

[Richy04]

The 280sl is a beautiful car, I believe they made it from about 67 to 72 so I would say a 1970 or 71

[Motorhead350]

71

You got it. 1971 Mercedes 280 SL.

[jinxed]

Could it be an XKE

[Motorhead350]

Thats a Jag and the car is no Jag. ;)

[RCSignals]

You got it. 1971 Mercedes 280 SL.

Oh finally! the guessing game is over!!! :)

[MM03MOK]

Now we need pictures!! Very cool, Dom!

[Motorhead350]

It's getting a tune up right now, but this is exactly the way it looks!

[Mike Poore]

Me cries:bigcry: Barb wants one of those sooooo bad.

Good for you. I think it's one of the most georgous cars ever built ....except for Sunshine, that is. :D

[Leadfoot281]

Nice car! Does that model have the swing axle in it?

[Richy04]

I know Cooper, no bigger (alleged) thief around, notice its over priced by about 18-20k.. Granted the car is sweet but many can be had for alot less.

Good Luck, that is a sweet car, I had a gaggle of MB's, one was a 72 280 SE 4.5 V-8 and the Grand daddy 1969 300 SEL with the 6.3 V-8, that b*tch was fast!! I also had a few diesels as well.

[Motorhead350]

I know nothing about this car other than the original color was green and not the red that it is now. :o

[RCSignals]
