I really didn't want to do this but some other
priorities have come up and I need to sell my C300. Additionally, my
schedule has been really bad the last couple of years and I don't feel that
sitting around is doing the car any good. What I'm going to do is first tell
about everything that it needs to be done then I'll list off all the things that
have been done to it.
Needs to be done: Extreme lower right
rear quarter has some bubbles but the rest of the car is solid. Entire car
could use a new paint job. Most of the chrome needs to be redone including
the wire wheels. The windshield has something on it from the shop where I
had a dent in the right rear fender fixed. Haven't had the time to
take it back due to my weird schedule and they're not open on Saturdays.
The window on the passenger side door has a crack in it. The master power
window switch needs to be cleaned/rebuilt. The temp and fuel gauges are
inaccurate. The radio doesn't work. One of the air cleaners has a
dent. It has a noisy u-joint.
Iffy stuff: The interior is not the original
tan colors however the stitch patterns in the seats are like original so the car
may have been ordered that way. I'm not sure. The interior is red,
white, and black. Also, the block isn't original (it's from an
Imperial) but there is evidence that the first owner from California used
to race the car and probably blew the original engine. It is, however,
built to 300 specs. I'm the third owner. The second owner never
drove it. The car has been converted to 12 volts which may explain why the
two gauges don't work properly. It was that way when I bought it.
One of the horns doesn't function.
What's been done, front to rear: Had the
radiator checked. It's in good shape. Recent rebuilds and
replacements: water pump, complete engine, carbs, starter, brakes, brake
cylinders, master brake cylinder, power brake booster, power steering pump,
brake lines/hoses, transmission, starter, ring gear, speedometer. So
except for the u-joint, the car is in excellent mechanical shape. It also
has radial WWWs with about 7,500 miles on them, mostly highway driving which
includes two trips to SW Florida from Detroit. The trans, starter, ring
gear, and speedo work was all done very recently..... like within the last 100
miles. The engine has around 3,000 miles since the rebuild. Not real
sure about this but I think I also had the exhaust system replaced since I
bought it. I'll have to check.
I have close to $25,000 invested in the car
including my purchase price. I'm asking for $19,500. If anyone is
interested and would like to see pics, let me know what you want to see and I'll
take the pics with my digital camera and email them to you.
