That’s why I went for the HHR rather than the GT. More headroom.

More like Doug has the exact same amount of Jalopnik exposure as ever without having to put up with the Gawkerverse and while likely being paid more and having more freedom. Well played Doug.

You haven’t been around here long, have you?

Four words: bread and butter!

Seems like jalopnik still has 100% as much doug material as ever without having to pay him anymore? Well played jalopnik, well played.

“This 1971 Benz that isn’t driven is in better shape than OldManMcKenna’s 1971 Benz” isn’t as catchy of a headline.

You are correct — the build quality, as defined by the meticulous and methodical pace of assembly, the choice (as in premium selection) of materials, the tolerances, and the extremely conservative engineering made for a truly special automobile. This car was constructed at or near the…

I wouldn’t necessarily trust 88k miles any more than 200k miles in a car that old. If anything, I’d want to see more miles to let me know it hadn’t just sat for ages.

Haters gonna hate. It’s a beautiful car, but somehow (I’m that vintage) I missed this jump between the 280 sl (more beautiful) and the 450 sl (much more common). Presuming the 350 was somewhere in between.

That's because Evs are overwhelmingly bought as a fashion statement. And volts aren't cool.

I would guess this car is owned by a person who doesn’t usually drive out of the city, and for some reason they got sent to a video shoot in the desert and couldn’t find alternate transportation in time.
