Looking for a solid, B-body with no rust. Don't care if it's two or four door. Any Mopar power plant as long as it's a solid running car in comparable shape to '91 Mercedes 560 SEL. The latter has 142K miles, silver w/ clean gray leather interior. $4,000 in recent mechanical work (have receipts). Prior owner rebuilt top end of engine and rebuilt suspension.
New rear pads and rotors, new front pads, new vacuum lines, new alternator and battery. Minor fade to paint (seems to happen to silver Mercs) but solid. Minor wear to seats. Looks wonderful. Shifts and drives beautifully. Depending on which value guide you believe, a very good Merc W126 from this year is probably worth $3-6K. But, of course, it has had $4K in recent work, too. And these cars are as solid as Panzers.
Will post pix for those who have something desirable to trade. Looking for:
B-body, no rust, clean, mechanically solid car. Disc brakes or conversion a plus. 1963-66 preferred, but will look at any A-body. Also willing to consider 1967-69 AMC.
