        Here are a few pics of the Benz at "ride height".







        And now dumped























        Air suspension: Viair 444c Pump, 3 Gallon tank, 1/4 DOT lines, 150 PSI 4-Switch, 2 - Dual Viair gauges

        Some Interior Shots

        I do have the original Becker Radio. It needs to be rebuilt. Has a small crack on the faceplate, sound cuts in and out, and at times doesn't work at all. Was thinking about removing the faceplate and retrofitting it on a modern knob style AM/FM stereo.











        Some extra detail shots

        CA Black Plates finally came in. Re-thinking I should have requested VIPBENZ instead of VIPMERC. If I ever sell the W114 by default my next project will be a Mercury Lead Sled. Last year of the CA black plate was 1969 and luckily my 1972 250C has been the same body style since 1969 so it makes sense.

        Since one of the main features of the coupe is the no B-pillar window, I decided to take the head rests off and cap the holes. Now you can see straight through without obstructions.

        Still some work to be done!

                      thanks brother! I actually wouldn't mind the manual windows =) My passenger side motor blew once and every time I open the windows or moonroof I make the sign of the cross. feelin your coupe. I'm also going to powder coat my wheels black and get some mooneyes spider caps. it'll give it a rock a billy vibe. makes a huge difference for not too much money. I think it'll look sick on yours.

                          nice! looks familiar =)

                          here's what it looks like with no hubs in case you're interested in that look. As for me, I would take the time to get them gloss powder coated with at least chrome lug nuts. so the look is more intentional vs. someone just stole your hubcaps. If the chrome lugs don't do it, I'll invest in the spider caps.
