He daily drove the car up until 1997 when the vehicle was purchased by the Greer family. The car has been lovingly cared for since day one and is a time capsule. Every record back to the window sticker is complied in a binder that is over 2 inches thick!! Tens upon tens of thousands of dollars have been spent on this lovely estate. In 2009 the family commissioned MB Garage in Northern California to undergo a "driver" quality restoration.

The car drives like a dream, cold starts are effortless, warm starts are amazing. Brakes are flawless and tight. Suspension is tight, confidence inspiring and fully rebuilt. The air conditioning system was rebuilt and works but is not the coldest not the warmest. The becker mexico radio works perfectly, all the electronics work like a dream. Its should be of note that a sway bar bracket in the rear does cause a slight grinding noise upon left hand turns. If time permits I will swap out before the vehicle is sold. Michelin tires are in great shape and have over 80 percent life. Electronic door locks work and all 4 windows roll up and down as they should. Trunk shocks hold the tailgate up as well
