All were mint or near mint condition. It was nice to grow up with a Dad who owned a used car dealership.

Ahhh...those were the days.
My client is getting over his. He's selling off all the cars in his dealership.

PS: The E320 Convertible he's selling is a 1996 model. 1995 was last year for E320 convirtable in the US. He loved them so he bought 2 of them had them brought here.

Like many on this thread, I like mustangs as a whole (owned an 04 GT), and heaven help me, camaro's from the 60's as well. The real problem with American muscle cars is twofold: 1.) getting all that RWD hp on the road with a 60f/40r weight distribution and 2.) Praying there isn't even a mist form someone's windshield cleaners water on the road! It's one of the reasons I respect cars like EVO's, Suby's and Audi's now...and yes, SLK's for the balance. I agree with other posters...it's a shame there are not more of the SLK's at track events. (and that mods cost so much)

The supercharger in a straight line will pull on you. Get them on a track with twisties and you can knock them off.
