Hello!

Sweet W126C

WoW Dark that is one clean SEC, of all the cars I ever had I miss my SEC the most. The new price in 1984 was an astronomical $58,978.00 guess how I remember that. If you convert that to to 2007 dollars comes in at $464,000.00 those were the days the barrier to entry was in the stratosphere. Today everything has changed. Anyway welcome, the W126 board is your best bet around here.

Thanks alot. Yeah I posted some over there too. My car was 64k new in 1985. I wanted one ever since I was a kid. 40 now, and now I finally got one. I restored it myself. Thanks for the compliments. Took me 6 months to complete. I have it insured for 24k at the moment through Allstate insurance. Interesting, they didn't even balk at the idea.
I also took best in show at an MB event last weekend in Chambersburg, PA. I'm very proud of her. Details on what I did and how I did it are in a link in my sig.

Welcome to the Forum.... I'm sure AsianML was just joking. I left Benzworld Forum because the members there are freaking hot heads and so damn political, rants and etc.. I can go on... . Anyways what caught my attention was your post message and not only that... your car . Great photos of your SEC keep it up.. You sure keep it clean..
