Looks great!
This is the second time a Euro SEC pops up the week after I buy another w126!!

 

Sure looks it. Looks to have ASR, too.

 

i'm in contact with the seller
deets to follow

 

Go drive it and see what a 10:1 is all about, its the torque at all speeds :thumbsup:

 

What it costs NOW sure won't matter in ten years...... if it is a good one and it is a keeper.

And if it IS, I hope you can nab it.

 

Is that a Webasto I spy?

 

If it's really a well maintained, one-owner Gen2 Euro SEC as the ad states, then this should be a no brainer!

 

Great looking car!

 

Looks like someone snagged it. CL ad is gone. That was QUICK!

 

seller called me and said he has a deposit in hand. if it is a true gen2 euro i'm actually surprised it lasted 1 week as i believe the cl ad was posted 12/6

 

sheez....thought it was you! bummer.

 

thanks. i don't have a true gen2 euro but i'm still pretty set on the coupe front.

i wonder who nabbed it??

 

Same type of lurker who sniped the petrol blue/black 1980 500SE from Chadahar, probably...

 

quite possibly. Oh well, we shall see...

 

I tried to find the CL ad this morning and couldn't. It would be nice to know who is buying up these cars...Oh, well.

 

Another example of a lurker grab that has gone past without further detail...

That was a interesting example. It'd be interested to know what came of it.

 

yeah I tried to get that green one....

 

I think we all would like to know.

 

Bummer...that looked like the real deal.

 

indeed. it did look to be the genuine article.

too bad that many of these unique examples fall off the radar screen. with the recent surge in ECE/RUF activity and transplants it would be good to have another original / real deal example make itself known

fingers crossed that it went to an enthusiast and shows itself

 

Out of curiousity, I called the owner briefly late yesterday and asked if the car had CA papers, he replied yes it was smogged with a CA title, but federalization paperwork not sure ??. He got the car to flip, and did not know squat.

Hopefully the car was purchased by a CA buyer as to keep the car in-state as it is difficult to register these 560 euros without the proper CA BAR sticker and federalization papers to back it up. For some apparent, unknown reason gen2 500 euros have an easier time. :dunno:

 

For some apparent, unknown reason gen2 500 euros have an easier time. :dunno:

I sure hope so...I still need to get this 500SE on the road here!!

 

Good news -- deal fell thru

Bad news -- went to look at this car today. It is NOT a euro. It is an 040 us-spec car. It is not the car in the picture. When I asked the seller about this he said, "I don't know, my brother put the ad on Craigslist". He was a nice guy, offered me gas money. I said thanks but I'd rather have my time back please

 

Craigslist is full of crazies.




To the Misinformed Animal Rights Activist Who �Liberated� My Chickens

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Madam or Sir,

Due to a long string of events surrounding the protest of a backyard poultry processing class to be held at my house (using old egg-laying hens from a local organic farm), you have decided it would be in the best interests of MY egg-laying hens to �liberate� them, i.e. steal them from my yard in the middle of the night. What worries me is not so much the trespassing, theft, harassment and dissemination of my private information (such as my home address) to the public, but is the complete misguided step you have taken to ensure I cannot care for my pets anymore. You have stolen my egg-laying hens, which I have raised from wee chicks, and relocated them to God-knows-where.

There are two options here: you traumatized and killed my hens by setting them �free� in the wilderness, or, you hypocritically passed them on to someone else to enjoy the egg laying benefits.

Let�s start with number 1: You took my four hens from my yard last night to set them free in their �natural environment� away from evil egg-eaters such as myself. They will die because they are domesticated animals and have no ability to fight for themselves. A raccoon will shred the chickens faster than you can beat your vegan meat. Great job, there, animal-lover. Was your plan to provide a nutritious meal to the scavenging raccoon population of Portland?

Or, shall we go with number 2: You re-located my pets to some other house where the owners do not know the history of the chickens or have paid the love and attention I have given them for the past 2 years, i.e. raising them from chicks. You are a hypocrite for furthering a lifestyle that allows people to own domesticated livestock. Great job. Although chickens are not the smartest creatures of the animal kingdom, you can be assured they were still traumatized by your kidnapping and relocation process.

What did you expect to accomplish, radical Portland animal rights activist? Did you think you would earn some cred with the Portland Animal Defense League who gave out all my roommate�s (and therefore my) private information on the internet? Did you want to thoroughly upset and sadden a chicken-owner trying to raise her own eggs instead of resorting to buying nameless farm factory eggs and supporting large corporations? If so, then let�s give you a pat on the back for your great success! I guess I will be buying my eggs from the store now and will look out into my backyard where my loving chickens once stood and wonder where to put my tasty vegetable scraps. Your asshole would be the next best location.

Sincerely,

Angie

P.S. Return my chickens you ignorant fool. You bring a bad name to all activism.

I was born down SOUTH on a CHICKEN FARM near Mashville, TENNESSEE. 'Tweren't nobody there but a sky full of air, seventeen billion CHICKENS and ME
And then one day, I said "Hey, hey, HEY, think I'll DROP a little LSD."
It BLEW my MIND. I got real KIND. And I set my CHICKENS FREE!
And there was chickens in the PASTURE,
Chickens in the BARN,
Chickens in the CAULIFLOWER, &
chickens in the CORN;
CHICKENS drivin' CADILLACS to WASHINGTON, D.C.,
WHEN I SET MY CHICKENS FREE!

Was that JR's car?

 

Nope

 

Nothing better than putting pics of a different car in a cl ad
