At least it appears to be a true euro, 86 500 SEL, the headlights look great in the pics!

1986 Mercedes 500 SEL

No affiliation- Just thought someone might be interested. Could be a bargain, depending on the mileage and condition.

I was wondering that myself. My weekend roadtrip has me going in the wrong direction this weekend, or I'd go check it out.

This car is in the abouts of my areas ... I contacted the owner a while back. From what I recall, it needed quite a bit of work and has been sitting a while ... tranny slips, leaks etc. if I remember correctly. I just checked and no longer have the e-mail from the owner describing what it needed ...

Was wondering if anyone had a chance to see this car yet. I spoke to the owner last week and have plans to see it saturday. It has been up a looong time on CL with different ads and wording. I know it has been sitting for a bit and has driver side door latch issues (doesn't open). The owner seems a bit matter of fact about the car but you never know. But I do remember the first time I asked about it, i received a detailed e-mail from a different person ...

When I go, i'll take a bunch of pics and give an update if anyone is interested. I may be interested if things are just right.

Yes there were. A few days ago I went to see a '86 500SEL Euro that was Gen II up near Cleveland. Thought it could be a good parts car, but had extensive rust, junk chrome and wouldn't start. Passed on the car as it was just a large paperweight in my eyes.

I spoke to a woman a couple weeks ago. She said it has ribbed cladding and admitted to it being an '85 but titled as an '86. I asked for the vin and she promised to email it to me. Never did but sent me a message saying she left a voicemail for me and was I still interested...There was never a vm from her.

Weird.
