My C210 Coupe

[NightMonkeyII]

hi all

this is my C210 '78 coupe ive owned since 2000. IT IS NOT FOR SALE

Absolutely stock, i am the 2nd owner (lady owner originally)

5 speed, no air/steer. cream interior. straight as an arrow apart from a small dent behind the drivers door

have stove top tail lights (they cost a bit, and very rare!) the engine runs on 4 cylinders at best and she doesn't

have enough compression to go into 5th hehe

i wrecked a c211 4 door. the body was beyond repair. it was completely rusted and would not have suited a restoration

from it i got 4 wheel discs, injected L24 w/5 speed, power windows, air/steer. the front light assembly and dash. (dash is much nicer and will go into the coupe, as will air/steer and brakes)

some of this stuff i may be selling in the near future. ill keep you all posted.

those stove tops are EXACTLY the type i want for my car. i found a pair on ebay and won them back in jan 3rd. after not receiving them for 4 weeks, i got a little bit suss and turns out the guy took my money and did a runner. luckily i bought them with paypal and they were able to get my money back. but i only got it back this week.

unlucky (again)

unlucky alright. i got mine about 2 years ago... but i found my first set in japan a couple of days before the sept 11 attacks through the uk & jap sites. took about 4 months of emails and searching. all laid out on the floor, ready to go to my door for $650, then the attacks happened and the price went to $1000 (p/h went up), so the deal fell thru.

dont give up, you'll get them!

[NightMonkeyII]

congratulations, you have obtained the perfect base project car. only thing that would make it better would be a black interior.

[1978 C210]

hey dude, firstly just wanna let ya know that ur car is wicked, but i think u might be suprised that i have the exact same car but 4 door.

mine is also metallic green, the paint is slighty faded, but still in very good condition for its age.

ive got a recond L28 in it now, but stil have the origional L24 carby engine.

5 speed, aircon, power steering, but no electric windows

the car is complete with the factory pressed steel mags with veyr minimal rust in the whole car apart from underr the boot rubber and next to the rear left tail light.

sweet ride man, ill try get some pics up of mine! have a browse!

excellent!. sound like my old four door i had years ago. 5 speed, extractors and lukey exhaust right through, holley 180, air cond, no power steer, and very thick sway bars. silver in color, i discovered structural rust that rendered the car rooted! leaked heaps of water into the cabin, but sounded and went well. ive got my coupe fairly well stripped, will post progress pics asap
