There were a couple of Benz drop tops made that year.. Perhaps the rarest of them (stock of course) is the 300CECV...it's a 300ce with a convertible top. It usually fetches between 18-25k. however; the mint condition ones with low milage will get much more $$. The other car produced was the 560 SL...i'm not sure on the $$ of that car.<br> Something sounds VERY fishy about this deal you are talking about. For any MBZ, of ANY model and ANY year, 10-12k for a car with 15k original miles is a very good deal. Are these miles after a re-build? If he doesn't know the model of his car....then something is off, right?<br> Good luck, <br> tony
