Mercedes Benz: Is This Your Winter Beater?

A fine winter beater is big, comfortable, cheap, and most often, ugly as hell. This $1,000 '71 Mercedes Benz 250 for sale in Baltimore fits the bill -- except for the ugly part, thought the owner says the Easter egg blue body needs some love.
Owner says it runs and drives great and has a perfect interior. By the looks of the interior photo, he's not lying. We love the two gauges, the fake wood on the dash, and the seriously padded wheel. Owner has four matching hubcaps, though we think the uncovered steelies look better. If this car is as good as the owner says it is, we think it's a screaming transport deal for any season.
