I came into an old 280 SEL 4.5 that needs alot of work. I was wondering what the value of the car would be if it was at least partially restored. Thanks for anyones input!

an old mercedes that needs alot of work.....
you just answered your own question

check up the old car value index and look up your car...figure your car is in the below median value..then factor in the cost of the repairs
if repairs exceed value well...

then you'll have to answer another question

how much do you like the car...

a car that old.....is a money pit...and ive seen my share of money pit cars
