Where are they today?

Looking through 20 year old copies of The Star magazine, published by the Mercedes Benz Club of America, I saw this ad. I makes me wonder where cars like this are now.

If anyone has pictures or advertisements of 116s that you wonder what happened to, post them here.

Tempting to give the number a call and start following leads, isn't it???

Detectives, start calling!

We need photos at the very least!

Far out, the car has probably been wrecked or is sitting around somewhere, otherwise people would surely know of its whereabouts.

I am really tempted to call on several old ads like this. You never know. Sometimes the car doesn't sell and ends up tucked in the corner of the original owner who long forgot it and bought a Lexus.

If I recall correctly the current owner posted on the MBCA forum within the last couple of years.

I'll have to look into it. By the way, where in NY are you BigBlockBenz?

Mike, I had pm'd you about your SLC on one of the other forums :)

I'm on Lake Ontario near Point Breeze in Orleans County.

I've done 2 searches so far , one "450 SEL 5.0" and one of "450 SE 5.0" and the second one using google's german to english page translator read one fellow posts that there were 8 W116's 5.0's built.  

Also came across some nice pics of one title 'Franks Mercedes AMG 450 SEL 5.0'

Ok. I remember. You told me not to be discouraged and sent me a link to the muscle car rebuild right?

That 450 5.0 link is awesome. It is so close to being over the top it is perfect. That's a lot of chrome though.

Mike,

Yes, I sent you that link to an early Camaro 'skeleton' after it was media blasted to remove all the rust.

Getting back to the W116 5.0, again, if I recall correctly I pm'd the guy but never heard back.
