1985 Mercedes 500 SEL in unique and unusual color combination

When I saw this car in 2009, I had to have it. Granted, the color combo is not for everybody, but it was the main reason for me to buy this car and add it to our little collection. It had 130.700 miles and was in pretty good condition already.
Within the last 5 years and 3.500 miles I transformed it from a good car into a very good car. Let me give you some details:
- 2 owners with clean carfax
.
- Absolutely NO rust anywhere, which means none under the rear window either.
- The paint is original and shiny with only the right rear door and quarter panel professionally repainted, which was only picked up by a paint gauge.
- There are some minor hairline scratches, but keep in mind the car is 30 years old.
- Ice cold A/C still running on R12, also blowing through center vents
- Perfectly working sunroof ( I just lubed it with MBZ sunroof lube)
- 4 new Bundt alloys with new tires (it had ugly chrome wheels)
- new Bosch battery
- Uncracked headlight doors with H4 lights
- Working cruise control
- Working antenna with new grommet, semi-period correct Alpine stereo with single CD
- Working rear power seat and seat heaters
- Working front power seats with headrests going up and down
- B-pillar covers newly recovered in proper Vinyl
- No cracks in dashboard or leather
Temperature display shows correct outside temperature.
NO Check engine, SRS or ABS lights on. The rear ABS sensor was just replaced.
All interior lights and instruments work properly, but the tachometer sometimes needs a couple of minutes or a nice bump before it starts working.
The right rear window regulator will have to be replaced. The window goes down, but needs help to come up.
The rear window is cloudy on both lower corners.
It starts perfectly when it's cold, but needs a bit more cranking after sitting for about an hour when it's still semi-warm.
Mechanically it's in very good shape with a recent transmission fluid and filter service.
It has a clear WA title in my name. Registration is valid until November 2015. Since it's over 25 years old, it is smog exempt.
I will NOT provide a smog certificate for a Californian buyer. WA DOL will register the car to an out-of-state address. Since it's now 30 years old, it's also eligible for YOM plates for a one-time fee of approx. $ 55.--
I will gladly help with shipping arrangements inside or outside the USA.
No warranty implied or expressed.
Note:
- I am selling this car without reserve because I found a perfect 1992 400 SE with 68k miles.
- The 300 TD in the pictures is my mother-in-law's car and not for sale.
