here I go off topic again
Here’s an ad from the German Mercedes Classic Magazine. Fancy pricing is no crime, but what are they thinking?
I am selling my Pagoda and it isn’t even baby blue. Offer me half the price and you’ll be good.

600km tacho. It has been stripped down to each and every individual part. It has been re-newed.

Back in 1975 when I was 16 my dad would take me car shopping for my first car and he would always find these old antique cars out in the boondocks (he was obsessed with me driving HIS dream car). This one place had a gullwing SL that I fixated on, having never seen one before. I asked how much it was and it was $7500, to which my father said "I could buy a new Cadillac for that!".

It didn't change much, you still can buy a new Cadillac for a price of gullwing
