My Bama Barn Find
« on: March 16, 2012, 11:11:46 »
I had been after this car for over 5 years. Finally got her and just hope she is all I have dreamed she could be. As far as I can tell from gas receipts in '95 at 1.03/gal. she has been sitting a long time. I've explored Mars, what I call the gas tank, i've tainted my hands with dirt, oil and old gas. I hope to hear her fire up this weekend.

230 SL or 250 SL, can't make out the trunk badge.

Also good luck! There is a lot of information on this site to assist you. Take your time with getting it fired up and be sure to make the checks as noted on the site.
