Thanks for the welcome, Bob! I'm enjoying my "new" '76 280. Don't have any pics, yet, but will work on that. It's a pale yellow sedan w/brown leather interior, all original, with 166,000+ miles. I'm the 4th owner, and all 4 of us are Montanan's. It was bought new by a dentist in Billings, and I bought it from a minister in Red Lodge (a small town about 3 hours from Helena...way up in the Mountains (it's a ski town). I plan to use the Benz as a daily driver. It's in great shape overall, some bubble rust that I'll have fixed. I don't plan on making it a show car - just a great-looking, unique daily driver...even in the winter. I put studded snows on it, and it gets around quite well. Montana has only one Mercedes dealer - in Missoula. I guess Mercedes doesn't think there is enough population to warrent more than one! This is a prob. We owned a '98 ML 320 before, and had to travel to get warranty work done. So, we improvise! So, bear with me, everyone, if I seem to ask dumb questions!
