Few Silver Arrows tug at my heart strings with such ardor as the noble Fintail. I’ll even be so bold as to say I would gladly pass up a 300 SL for my very own Heckflosse. Where as the owner of a gaudy gullwing fears every door ding and stone chip, the big sedans stare down lesser autos with a stern glare. This particular piece of armament only adds to the lust with a four-cylinder diesel (not seized) and a manual gearbox with tree-mounted shifter. She’s nothing short of gorgeous, and she’s yours for $575. Get her before the scrap yard does.
Found on Craigslist.

Damn….that's only about an hour and a half from me. I wish I had room in the garage..

This doesn't look like the garage kind of girl, if you know what I mean.

Were these old diesels reliable at all? It may have been a fluke but my grandfather purchased one of these new and had the engine go out at 45k miles.

I am willing to suspend my disbelief to take pleasure in a very good demonstrate
