WHY IT'S HERE

Posting here because this deserves to go to someone in the community who understands what they're looking at. Relocating and it needs to move.

This car does not run. The rear fuel pump seized from sitting for 10 years with stale fuel. I sprayed starting fluid into the airbox and the engine fires immediately — solid compression, correct timing, healthy ignition system. Video available on request. Two untested spare pumps and a new fuel filter are included with the sale.

This is a project car. Priced as one.

THE ABC DELETE

If you've spent any time on this forum, you know what this means. The ABC hydraulic system has been fully removed and replaced with genuine Mercedes-Benz SL350 OEM passive springs, shocks, and sway bars. Not coilovers. Not aftermarket. Factory Mercedes hardware. One less ticking clock in the ownership experience.

CONFIRMED NOT WORKING

• Rear fuel pump seized — aftermarket replacement ~$150–$300. Two untested spare pumps + new fuel filter included with the car
• Convertible roof not operating — seals and hydraulic fluid need replacing

────────────────────────────────────

────────────────────────────────────

MISSING ITEMS

• Front tow hook cover

THE HONEST PART

This car has been sitting outside for 10 years. The fuel pump is bad confirmed issue, and the engine firing immediately on starting fluid suggests the bottom end is in solid shape. That said — this is a project. Additional dormancy problems may exist. Don't buy this expecting one repair to make it perfect. Budget and plan accordingly.
