Thought I'd finally post up some pics of my ride. I have had it for about 4 months now, 1 of those in a sling as many of you know. I was hoping to take more pics up to this point, but the injury is behind me now. I just need nicer weather again! I'll definitely post more in the future.
I'm the 2nd owner and purchased it just shy of 75k miles. The old man that bought it, passed away shortly after getting it =( The wife kept it as a 2nd car and kept it up to date on service at the dealership. The son, about 40 now, took it over about 5 years ago. The interesting part was that he was in Germany for 3 of them. I guess his pops had an 87' MB in mint cond, so he is driving that now. Anyways, that's how I got lucky enough to get it and enjoy the hell out of it! I also have all the maintenence records back to '91 :D
It's not perfect, but obviously in pretty nice shape. The nice thing is that I take the train for a short commute downtown, so I tend to put way below average miles on my cars per year. I mostly drive to get out of the city, and to my buddies' that live on the outskirts. I'm also a big cyclist, so I ride to friend's alot in the summer. Right now it's sitting at 76,400 after driving it 5.5 hours ea over xmas.
Here it is the day I bought it and where I bought it. It came with the bike rack, the Borbets, and 14" steelies with winters on them. Right now it's rolling on the 14s w/o caps.

I was planning to take more this day a couple of weeks ago, both int and ext, but my gf left me with my battery blinking. Only got off a couple of shots before it died.

Oh yeah, it's basically stock right now. I've just been getting it up to speed mechanically, and it has its share of projects trust me. I'm shy to do major mods right now with such a low mileage stocker that runs like a top =]
