6.9forever
Noble
It's fair to say that TK members love and value their cars disproportionately compared to what they presently might realise in terms of dollar value.
I'd contend it's time to 'talk up' the value of our cars, consistent with reason.
It doesn't help when we are overly critical about the condition or asking price of a car that we spot ... "Tell 'im he' s dreaming!"
Such negative vibes only add to a continuation of depressed values, I'd contend.
Some rare W109s and the W100 eg. the 3.5 cabriolet and 600 are now six figures. The 6.3 could be next, then surviving original unmolested 6.9s within maybe decade or two.
Let's talk them up, again, within reason. Repair and maintenance costs are still reasonable as mechanically they are not too sophisticated - 600 hydraulics excepted - and almost all parts available.
Here's to the day when 6.9 is as coveted as a 113 SL!
