Three On The Tree: 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D W115
This next car comes from tipper Art who first writes: 3 on the tree 220 Deeeeeee! Kinda just rolls off the tounge, huh? Lotta cool for 5K… quick glance through looks clean. Can these stay cheap forever? Maybe, since they never die…And a few minutes later wipes a film of coronavirus repelling axle grease off his screen and sends us another message; I mean, minus the cost for a respray….Haha my phone screen was low, didn’t notice the last few pics of the paint… still …. this kinda does it for me, be the only one on your block! Yup, you got it right Art. I drove one of these things for a few years and can tell you two things with certainty–(1), the interior build quality is second to none and (2) they are slower to 60mph than the Belarusian response to the coronavirus. Find this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D offered for $4999 in Fairlawn, NY via craigslist.
