I do not want to disrespect you in these threads I answered to my best knowledge. I know what I know. Depends how much u want to spend to bring this car to factory. Have a blessed day. I don’t know ( Hope this makes you feel better)July 20th, 2023 at 5:14pm EST$14,250 bid placed by @IlovebigtoysJuly 20th, 2023 at 5:10pm ESTIlovebigtoys (10) 0Your answers tell me how little you know about cost of owning and repairing a vehicle like this. I am a car collector and I have done several MB restorations, none of wick sounded as simple as described by you. Personally I think you are full pg smoke and that you have no clue what the cost of R22 is today! . You are better off to say you dont know than give BS ansvers!July 20th, 2023 at 5:01pm EST$14,000 bid placed by @rolandbroussardJuly 20th, 2023 at 4:05pm EST$13,250 bid placed by @MasonJamesJuly 20th, 2023 at 3:29pm ESTHammerEd (12) 0Very beautiful 108, GLWAJuly 20th, 2023 at 1:17pm ESTKarmin0828 (1) Seller 0@Ilovebigtoys California 6 digit plates. Have some docs that came with the car July 20th, 2023 at 1:16pm ESTKarmin0828 (1) Seller 1Estimate A/C fix needs recharge or fuse. Nothing major 100%. It’s the wire on speedometer. It’s a small fix also. Parts are available. Dash crack $200-$300 to fix the crack steering wheel to take to body shop and redo $500 I did on my other cars .the steering leak is fixed it was a washer we replace just redid the complete radiator. Car is a very solid car with no rust tobacco brown with original 89k miles. I have an identical 72 4.5 280SEL also in white. This is a very clean car all around no oil leaks. Minor few things I mentioned if you have a mechanic u will spend max $2-$3k for the stuff u mentioned. Hope this helps July 20th, 2023 at 12:05pm ESTIlovebigtoys (10) 0Do you have an estimate of fixing the A/C, alternatively converting it? If not why? Seems like you have taken care of most everything else with this vehicle, The speedometer has a wire connection I believe. Have you tried to repair the bouncing speedometer needle? If not why? Do you have an estimate on replacement of the steering wheel? Are any original replacement parts available? Was the steering box leak fixed? It is a bit unclear in your listing description as it says there is a steering box leak, but that this has been addressed. Is it fixed?. Any attempts to repair the crack in the dash. If any attempts to repair the items above is there a quote/cost estimate available, again since seller decided bot to complete these repairs. The tires have 2015 date codes. 8 years old! Is there any visible dry totting:cracking at all due to age? I have the 2nd highest bid and before I consider continuing bidding I would appreciate answers to the best of your ability.
