I was down talking to Victor and he had in a W-123 300CE that when new , had been sent to a customizing place and made into a Convertible .
He said it had been sitting about ten years and had badly gummed up fuel lines between the tank and the engine compartment , this is actually a fairly simple thing to fix although it's amazingly time consuming and if not done 100 % , will result in a clogged fuel injection system and poor running .
The car looked O.K. , the black interior was a bit beat up as are most 30 + year old rag top interiors .
A few days later I saw it heading to Altadena on a flat bed carrier so I guess he or the customer gave up on it for now .
I certainly hope it doesn't get put behind the garage of someone's house to deteriorate ~ that's the fate of too many older convertibles , I know having saved quite a few , always rusted out floors from sitting .
