The short wheel base (560 SE) was produced in small numbers, I
think. The usual one here in the US was the 560 SEL, long wheel base.

I wouldn't call he 560 rare - of curse it all depends on what
specific 560 you're talking about. There was the top of the line
560SEL 4 dr sedan typically with all the bells and whistles. Also,
we need to know the chassis type of the mod year as it could be a
W126 or a W140. Both are incredible cruising machine. Not
inexpensive to own & maintain but when all is working preperly it
is a true experience.
Again, depending on the chassis and model, it may have some built
in problems. Things like HVAC, dash, wiring, etc can be
troublesome on some vehicles.
Along with the SEL there's a SL and SLC - the roadster and coupe
version of the 2 dr "sports" car. Also, it was produced over a ~20
year time period
You asked about getting the engine/trans? Depends on what you want
to use it in. With a SEL or SL you could stuff it right in, but
it's a lot of engine. Depending on how it was maintained it may
be a dream or a igtmare --
Good luck - HTHs

So, someone mentioned that 560s were rare. have a line on one in
a "yard". What is special about them and what are the engine
specs. Would the engine & tranny be good to snag if in OK condition??
