Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches W. Great Lakes picked up a beater!!!

Its too soon to tell if it was a redicoulusly (sp?) poor decision or a great deal, but i just picked up a 1986 Benz 190E 2.3 AMG with 167,000 miles, for $350!! the engine runs good, exhaust system is new, clutch is new, but it got smacked from behind... Hard. to make the car look good again im going to have to replace the drivers side rear quarter panel, the trunk lid, the light fixture, and the rear pan (right below the trunk) Ive always wanted to mess around with body work. The AMG kit is tight sustained very little damage, the drive train (rear wheel drive) feels just fine, and the gas tank didn't get touched either. Oh, and also the guy i bought it from parted out the front bumper (for $600), so im going to have to get a regular 190e bumper oh well, its my new hooptie!!! also, does anybody know of any mercedes enthusiast sites? sites where i can find specs? I'll rock it to the next meet if i can get the body fixed by then.

Bring it to the next meet, and maybe Mikey will bring his Porsche, too.

dude! does it have a monowiper? i have a monowiper from a 91 e 190 that i want to transplant onto the contour.

yup it does have a monowiper, and so many other little luxury items and options... i never realized HOW discontented contours are! Not that they are in the same league as far as luxury cars are concerned, but still.
