Thank you kind sir. Unfortunately the wagon needs to be sold, but I'm holding out as long as I can. My family has grown and due to circumstances beyond my control, we acquired a minivan.

Beautiful 280SE 4.5, though why does it have black mirrors and not chrome?

Good question. I rescued this from a field so I don't have the complete history, but I believe since this car originally only had a single, drivers-side mirror, the previous owner screwed matching after market mirrors to both sides. There are still a hand full of parts I'm trying to acquire to get it back to a semi restored state.
