79 450 SEL donor car... Lowballers' Paradise

I'm posting this in the classifieds as well, but I thought i'd get it out there...

I've got (as the title says) as 450sel that is a perfect donor for anyone working on a project. I slid off a road and messed up the passenger side from front fender to back fender. Exhaust is BRAND NEW including 2 cats on back. Wheels and tires are in great shape. I took out the intake cover assembly, sanded it all down and re-shot it black, it looks really good. Motor runs fine and tranny shifts smoothly. Has 150k miles on it.

Other than the fact that it was screwed up in an accident, it's a beautiful car. Paint is still in cherry condition. It's Mercedes Silver, and a fine example at that. If you're looking for any part at all off of it, hit me up and we can talk. I'd love for someone to take it away, but reluctant to give it to a junkyard either... Just make me an offer.

It's such a beautiful car, but i can't afford to put the money into it to get her back on her feet. Hit me up on AIM or email and let me know if you need anything.

-Bill
