The motor could almost be a throwaway to do an electric conversion.
but the body is dubious. and in reality I'm getting lazier.
While there are those who question the feasibility of that statement, it's true.
letting the 67 MK II go today was tough. it brought good not crazy money.
But I think I want to make a run at the SL63.

The SL65 certainly took off at the last minute.
The SLK556 did well too but no dice at 13,500 so much for a cheap pickup.
With the nose damage the '03 SL55 has gotten priced out of viability.
and then there the new player in the game a 98 sl600.
part of me would like to have a v12... I love the style but... having a hard time getting excited.
