This is a very solid 1970 Mercedes 280s . The car runs but new owner will need to buy and have the transmission installed. The car is a excellent candidate for a total restoration or drive it as is after you install the transmission. The engine runs fine except for slight flutter in one carb. This car is being offered with no transmission, but you can find the w108 Transmission on ebay for $350 with a 90 day warranty. Brian #9562033258
