Anybody else into 'fintail' mercedes? I'm talking the W111 6-cylinder sedans, not the sexier, and more expensive W112 coupes.
There are a TON of them on the road here in Los Angeles, and I've admired them for years.
Seems like a 230 with fuel injection would be the hot ticket.
At one point I almost bought one but every one that I looked at had rust in the floor. Maybe it's just one of those things you accept and move on...

Robert, keep your eyes peeled for a clean Fintail out there in the land of fruits and nuts. Per has a hankering for one. A bad hankering....
Yeah me too, but I'll let him know.
You'd look good in a Benz. No disrespect meant to the Valiant, of course.
Yeah the Valiant's not going anywhere, but I have a wandering eye for those '60s Merc sedans. One of these days I'll have the cash in hand and just the right car will appear on CL.
I have 2 pontoons stashed and a couple of older merc for parts in salvage yard will get some piks and post later this week . The one pontoon has the sunroof webasto type , I am thinking rat rod with spikes in holes for chrome trim on side . complete parts car showed up on CL .
