This car is a theft recovery from 2012 .  When I got the car the following  parts had been stolen off of it

Hood -grille - bumpers -headlights - tail lights -radio - instruments  -dash chrome - wood

Soft top frame - soft top cover and "B" chrome caps - turn signal wiper arm - some dash pads

glove box -  some switches as well .

I have replaced the  Hood -grille - bumpers  -headlights - instruments and some switches - tail lights

and will also include the dash chrome - glove box - dash pads as well ( not shown on the car at this moment )

NOTE: Front headlight doors ( the plastic covers ) are broken and will need to be replaced

the headlight bulb holders and sealed beams are like new - Tail lights are excellent as well

Front bumper is ok but has some dings -  extra driving lights are OEM Bosch lights as well .

Hood is in excellent condition - bare aluminum so not much left to do except paint and finish

mounting it .  This is a very solid car to restore - I found no real problem rust issues at all on the

body or on the frame and floors except some typical surface rust on a few areas where the factory undercoating

has worn away .  Trunk floor has some surface rust but is still solid and we painted it as well . Original

excellent factory trunk mats ! Seats are in excellent condition just need a little cleaning but no rips or tears at all

1 door panel was removed but both are in very nice condition as you will see .  Also missing a few dash panels

and as before wood is gone but you can get one of those $500 repro kits ( I know you see them for $600 _$700

but really can get them for way less and they are the same supplier .   Not sure why but the alternator is in the car

as it was removed from the engine as well as the fan blade -- The engine turns over fine by hand . I cleaned it up and did a quick detail of it as well so it looks very nice - in fact I never understand why  many of those $100. 00 +++ 280sl's  never clean and detail the engine compartments !

Ignition lock is messed up ( they had to do that to steal the car !!!!  We will include an aftermarket ignition and key

   Good luck
