Hi, this is my first time on /o/ now that I have gotten more interested in cars. My grandma is going to give me her 1988 Benz 560SL convertible. I was wondering how much a paintjob and replacement to some parts like headlights etc..

Plus, what do you guys think of the car? It's speed, v8 engine, fuel economy etc..

If it comes with those retarded burgerbumpers and burgerlights, switch them out for originals.

Is this not the same?
>>
>>16799475
It's the same car as in the OP but it doesn't have original bumpers or lights.
>>
>>16799477
I just saw a different picture with the other bumpers, they look better without them. Why is this style on so many of these 560sl's in America rn?

Because America is a terrible place and mandated foreign car rape in the 80s.

Picture related: Lamborghini raped by the Yankees.

>>16799500
Is there any practical reasoning for doing this? Why didn't they rape their own cars such as the mustangs etc..

Feels good to be socialist!

If only socialism wasn't so shitty on paper.

Apparently Americans hit things at 5 miles per hour all the time since the bumper regulations apparently wanted the cars not to be damaged if you hit something at 5 mph.

If you don't like it stay home asshole

Talk shit but those bumpers will wipe out the other car and leave you with almost no damage.
>>
>>16800022
Yeah, no. You collide with the average American with their SUV and your Benz is toast.
>>
>>16799507
They're designed so that safety equipment (lights turn signals etc will still work after a 5 mph impact.

Lol no.
Mate i can push down on the hood of my Mom's Envoy, 2008 even, and it'll bend.
My old Plymouth will take a beating to dent that fucking hood.

Malaise era-fugly bumpers were designed and achieved the ability to absorb a low speed hit without any damage, the problem is that they always look like shit.

Modern bumpers are designed to crumble up and shit and then cost $2-3k to replace.
