Yesterday, on the Ponton group, one fellow posted a note re: a number of Pontons that showed up on eBay recently. Four of them, in various states of complete disrepair. The interesting thing was, they're down in Colorado Springs, about an hour south of me. And the fellow who posted the note shared his evaluation of them - he had gone and looked at them himself.
Seeing that there was someone else in this group in the general area, I dropped him an email. Turns out he lives in Pueblo, a bit farther south from Colorado Springs. But he's got a brother, living in the same town as I do - and said brother just bought ("just" as in that same day! ) one of these old Mercedes as well - a 1959 219.
I'm now in touch with this fellow, whose name is Ernie. Hopefully we will get together soon and compare cars, and quite possibly can help each other out.
His car appears to be in the same situation as mine - hasn't run in years, will need a lot of the same work done to it.
