Yeah, the comment regarding the fires affect on the engine of "Motor
should still be good" with the operative word being /*Should.
*/Repairing a gas engine always costs more than I think it should. I
owned a similar MB except it was a SE not SEL but the rest was the
same. That 4.5L V8 is an awesome engine though. Poor gas mileage but
sufficient performance even in a heavy 4 door sedan. It's possible
that's a 38K car especially since it was released near the height of the
gas crisis of the 70s. OPEC and all that making long lines & "Sold Out"
signs a regular sight at gas stations. Of course the typical buyer of a
new SEL 4.5 would not be living paycheck to paycheck I would hope so
perhaps it didn't affect them as I would think. SO who knows, maybe
they have all receipts so the mileage can be confirmed?
I was always a sucker for those cars. Still am, would love a car like
this one but not as a project. Also, I'm thinking the 6 cyl. 280 engine
would be preferable as is that SEL body. I believe the L came from an
additional 4" in the rear passenger compartment.

Really?
Massive fire damage in engine bay... Can't imagine $5,000 up front for a
long term project car?
Do these have enough residual value to support the ask price?
I don't have a clue.
