[Captain-Obvious™]

I don't even know what to say....

I can definitely dig them both. Leaning towards the white one. If the wheels weren't so cambered it would be perfect imo.

[mushroom_toy]

^ No suspension setups and camber correction for these cars. :)

[RUFFIAN]

E320 wheels look good. Both are BALLER

[mushroom_toy]

:) Thanks yeah those are my old wheels too. XD

[-EnVus-]

Looks good with the BBS but unless its bagged slamming it ruined it IMO

[mushroom_toy]

Nope no bags. :D Everyone has an opinion. :P Been slammed for a while....tire profile is high so usually sits lower. :)

[RL...]

I can't appreciate these cars. Now this on the other hand:

[Squirrley]

[Halfwit]

Are they the same car only with different front ends?

[dc2gs]

I dont think they are the same cars. Both are sexy all hell but im leaning towards the red one!

[Genji-Sama]

Bags are for groceries, the red one is pretty freakin nice :goodjob:

[mushroom_toy]

Thanks guys and no mines a 1974 240D and his is a 1969 280s.

Thank you for the white balance correction. That was killing me.

[mushroom_toy]

^ I was perfectly fine with it the way it was. :D Thats just me though. My car is not that red...and my wheels arent that yellow gold.

[twincannon26]

i work for a mercedes restoration shop, i got it for my cousin before it went to our parts yard. 1969 250. Currently de-trimmed and sanded, ready for a respray.

[CptWitwiki]

[mushroom_toy]

Tints gonna be redone...but they are drivers....finding the time to fix this stuff isnt high on priority lists haha.

[allmotor-teg]

[mushroom_toy]

[DeeAOne]

I've fallen in love with these cars. Gorgeous!

[mushroom_toy]

[mushroom_toy]

[dz332005]

[Scotsman]

how hard and expensive are these to maintain?

[mushroom_toy]

^ I put diesel and oil in it and drive.....I drove to maryland and back for H20...no probelms except overdue axle boots.

Have you done any suspension maintenance? I need to throw some bushings and what not in mine to freshen up the ride.

[mushroom_toy]

^Nope just slammed on its nuts. New shocks all around and new front sway bushings but thats it.

[-EnVus-]

I can only imagine how it would ride slammed with that ls motor.

how'd you go about lowering yours?

it's a comfy ride. only thing is watching out for bumps and anything to bottom out on. i need to get exhaust ran since the old exhaust was literally resting on the ground.

[mushroom_toy]

Cut springs....if your motors gonna be too low dont lower it honestly...or not to the point where Im at. My car skidplate is .25-.5 inches off the ground on 225/50/16 so It pretty much drags everywhere. :) Now with the 225/60/16s its a diff story haha.

Same here. The motor has great clearance. The floor/exhaust is a different story, haha. I'm running 195/60/14 now, which is a huge difference from the 195/75 that it did have. I'd love to get it sitting like yours, but not sure if I need it that low. Not sure why, but the driveshaft and floor have had their run in... lol

[mushroom_toy]

^ My floors drag on things, tansmisison drags, etc. But its built like a rock and if youre semi careful its pretty hard to fuck these cars up underneath. Theyre usually mostly rusty in the pans anyway. :) I had to raise my motor an inch...but Im diesel, whole diffeerent ballgame haha.

Got love for the diesel. Been looking at some newer (mid 80's) turbo diesels for a DD, but not sure if it's going to pan out. Helps hearing yours is still just as reliable as new!

[mushroom_toy]

^Yup I wouldnt hesitate to drive it cross country...just need to replace the axles sometime haha.
