1992 Mercedes-Benz 500-Series Base Convertible 2-Door Description

Power top works well. Top hydraulic seals were recently replaced. See video of top working here: https://youtu.be/V0oBmTxZw64 (copy and paste link)
Oil change, spark plugs, coolant flush, brake fluid and alternator all replaced all within the last year when I put this car back on the road for my trips to the beach and around town. Drive and enjoy, or go for a full restoration.
The IR Keyfob was lost, and only the regular key remains. The alarm can be turned off at the trunk lock when armed. I was quoted $167 for a new IR keyfob this past year. See other issues in the condition description above. I believe they are all small items, and I don't have time to do a full restoration on the car. It's ready to enjoy for the summer.
Wheels are 18" AMG wheels for a later r129 chassis vehicle.
With this 1992 k-jetronic m119 5.0 liter v8 motor, there are no worries of the biodegradable wiring harness that plagued the 1993-1995 v8 r129 models (bringing down the prices of all r129 vehicles). I've recently learned about those systems and there's apparently more than just the one wiring harness to replace.
This is the last year of the higher power 5.0 liter engine with the full-throttle enrichment for maximum power. I also like the styling of the earlier models. You may notice the subtle differences as you do your shopping.
