Subject: [Leica] Trade Mercedes for Camera Gear?

Sorry to be WOB, but this offer might be of interest to you if you need
wheels and have some surplus equipment to trade with me.  I'm helping a
charitable organization to sell this car; if it turns out someone on these
lists are interested in trading for $2500 retail value of equipment, I will
trade (since I could use the equipment) and then write the check for that
amount to the charity.  The ad reads as follows:

1979 350SEL for sale  $2500 OBO

The 350SEL is a European model.  Its closest American equivalent is the same
vintage 450SEL.

This car was personally imported to the USA some
years ago. At the time, the smog laws were more relaxed. The car was
recently donated to a charitable organization, of which I'm helping to
sell the car.

White with tan velour seats
V8 engine
Body and interior in very good condition
New tires and battery
Needs:  smog equipment, tuneup
275K  kilometers showing; engine was replaced with a newer unit about 2
years ago.

This car is probably too much trouble to make smog legal in California.
The car is currently in the San Francisco Bay Area.   If you can use it
in another state or country, this would be a good car for you.
