The wheel combo and the healthy engine and tight suspension made this a riot. It’s such a great driving R129.

Any time an auction is "No Reserve" the title will state just that. Thanks!October 3rd, 2025 at 4:58pm EST2005SL55AMG_OC (1) 1Is this a “no reserve” listing?

The hose is either the low pressure hose, which is a pretty easy and inexpensive fix or if it is the high pressure hose it may be a few hundred dollars at an indy shop. On the concrete on the lower cladding, we have reached out to our detailer and would recommend a concrete dissolver and some elbow grease and most/all should come off.October 1st, 2025 at 2:53pm ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) 1@CraigSu I believe it's tied to the same hydraulic system that powers the soft top. October 1st, 2025 at 12:56pm ESTCraigSu (7) 1@Stuttgart_Steel I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of this. Since it wouldn't be a track car like the example you referenced I presume the factory automatic rollbar operates independently of the soft top's presence or absence. That would be rather important.October 1st, 2025 at 12:38pm ESTMecho69 (7) 1Hi @Moto_Escape, what would it take to get the concrete cleaned up and cost of fixing the power steering leak? Thanks and GLWSOctober 1st, 2025 at 10:26am ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) 1@CraigSu I'm kind of into this idea actually. This would be the perfect car to do it to. The top weighs a ton and I did a quick google search and there's some threads with people asking the same thing. This guy did it to a dramatic extent: https://thembmarket.com/1999-mercedes-benz-sl500-10September 29th, 2025 at 6:22pm ESTCraigSu (7) 1Perhaps a sacrilegious question and better
