    Default the new old car...the old new car...just look

    OK so I picked up another old car, a 1972 Mercedes Benz 250C/8.

    Here is what it should look like An exceptional 1972 Mercedes 250C Coupe! but I have hopes for it.

    Same guy I got my 280SE from and at only $400 even if I just part it out I will do ok.

    Kat took one look at it as we were taking it off the trailer and said "it's ugly" but less than 3000 were made and imported that year.

    i think it is really cool owen, any old car has character that alot of new
    cars dont seem to have in my opinion
    i have a 66 vw beetle and a 73 vw bus and tho they arent in pristine shape they have alot of character and i like that

    Nice car
