I was just about to post this one! Thanks Tim.

Hopefully someone dedicated can save this one and finally get her out of the weather.....

I can only shake my head - just another 6.9 being totally neglected. What is it with these cars and SOME of their owners ? Any grey matter between their ears ? Any care that should have been extended ? I just don't get it. Just another one that is likely to cost huge money to refurbish/restore/whatever ! Regards Styria

6.9 in need of saving that is for sure.

Rust around the sunroof 6.9 suffering from neglect!

I like white.

Paint it red Michel look much better!


Suspension is sagged or has the 6.9 been lowered?

 

[BenzBoy]

Sorry folks - this one needs to be put out of its misery....
the 6.9 I mean.
Regards,

I really hope that's not a hole in the roof on the passenger side.... If it's that bad, things will be nasty inside and not much more than the driveline could be saved. What a tragedy!

Need someone to have a look at it....
It's south of Canberra...

More pix in the ad would be far better.... Many people go to all the effort of placing an ad, but don't make it good enough to make it attractive to buyers! Weird

I live 5 mins from there and would have been happy to go and have a look...

mmmmmmm... yes....

BUT....

You haven't been around 'here'

11 bids and it sold for $2375; pretty good for a sad example. Lets hope the new owner looks after her better and drops in here to ask some questions....

mmmmmmm... yes....

True, but I am easy to contact (email, PM, phone, facebook).

It is sold, so the point is moot anyway.

This is what he has in his advert on eBay:

G'Day Potential Buyers,

I am selling my 1979 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL (6.9ltr V8). A friend and I bought this approximately 4 years ago with intentions to fix up and register however 4 years later we have done little work on it and its a shame to leave it out in the weather.

The engine runs well and the vehicle is drivable, however there is water present in the engine oil.
The hydraulic suspension is not working so the vehicle sits very low. There is some rust present, particularly around the sunroof (shown in pic).

Interior needs work as the leather has cracked in places.
The battery is completely flat, but the vehicle can be jump started.
Vehicle is sold as is, inspections are encouraged.
