Is it worth it?
If i bought this car and restored it, approximately how much would it be worth. would this car be a nice collectors item someday? I am having the urge to buy it and restore it. what do you guys think.

Good for parts
Before you place a bid, go to any one of the many online MB part vendors and sneek a peak at what you're in for. A well maintained car that has been serviced by the book can cover amazing mileageand be as reliable as new but a bad one will send you straight to the poor-house. Almost everything is available for the car but AT A PRICE. If you're on a budget, forget it. The car will eat you alive. There is no way you will make money restoring a bad car. Parts and labor will cost you much more than the car will ever be worth.
This car was top of the line when it was new. Even though it's a piece of junk now, restoration, parts and maintenance will still be charged at the top of the line rate.
