Is this a no-troll auction?

Let me "reflect" on this...

Wow a 6L m119 GLWS Dave I hope you do well. I'm sure it's a very well maintained example in your care

 

[TerryA]

It looks “RED HOT” to me!!

Good Luck w/ the Auction

 

[Ntrepid]

Gonna be fun to watch!

I see that our buddy (and Banzworld 126 stalwart) "slownrusty" is really trying hard to like your car....because he's all that.

 

[gerryvz]

Seeing as the valvetrain has been shown, I think it only proper and correct to have the transmission pan removed and a close-up photo of the valve body added to the auction photos.

 

[gsxr]

I actually may have some old pics from when I pulled the pan for transmission service...

 

[Jimbo]

Hmmm, I would have expected (hoped) that motor would find its way into one of your .036s .

 

[Dunnik]

Very striking car, GLWS!

Plenty of peanut gallery chatter. Not enough of this:

 

[mercepor]

did you have a reserve price or it is sold for 21k?

 

[2phast]

did you have a reserve price or it is sold for 21k?

It met reserve, so assuming the buyer actually pays, it should be sold

 

[mercepor]

thx... the reserve was too low...

[Edited for clarity:]

For the same $21k, someone else picked up a mostly-stock C124 today:

46k-Mile 1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 Coupe

Your comparing apples and oranges. W210's don't have the same desirable lure as the sexy ass W124 ;-)

 

[gerryvz]

Some people have far too much money than they should. $21K for a pedestrian 124 coupe is BaTshit crazy. Should have been a third of that.

And it's a BaT repeat... same coupe sold a year ago for $24k + fees.

 

[gerryvz]

Just goes to show that irrational exuberance was greater a year ago.

Antiques Roadshow sad trombone....

Congrats on the sale. I hope all goes well.

 

[TerryA]

Congrats Dave,

Hope your happy w/ the results. I was holding my breath for you.

I thought for a minute YOU bought the coupe!! That would have negated thinning out the herd. Whew!!

lol

That woulda been SO GXSR...

... or so me, for that matter... in my head:

Me: “I’m gonna thin the herd, get rid of the allroad winter car and the S55 in favor of one all season car.”

Also Me: Sells allroad then buys W222 63 car, and justifies keeping S55. Doh!!
