Mercedes Benz 59 220S- $8,000 OBO

[Leif in Calif]

I guess if you could cut through the hyperbole and see the mechanic's plan you could make an intelligent offer (which might less than half half the asking) Definitely stay away from the vodka while negotiating!   More pics in ad

Own a piece of automotive history with a '59 Mercedes-Benz 220S!
2nd owner, garage-kept for the last 25 years, this classic beauty awaits restoration. Imagine the allure of its midnight blue paint which appears metallic in sunlight, aubergine at dusk, and black at dark. A nearly perfect body, this classic awaits the promise of its former glory. Though not running now, its past performance speaks volumes, having been driven throughout California. Obviously there is work to be done, however all original manuals come with it. My mechanic has given me a step by step plan for a starting point. A classic awaits.
Revive the legacy, make it yours! 🚗✨ Reasonable offers considered. Hendrix vodka also for sale

I wish I knew who these people hire to write their smarmy, cloying, and ultimately off-putting ad copy.

 

DK who's worse about it now, realtors or people selling cars.

Interesting they also mention Vodka for sale.  

 

Car drove them to drink?

I like these cars but it would have to be running and in really nice condition before I spent 8k. I too would love to see the 10pt mechanics plan LOL.
