Its a shame the 63 is the solid one. Those early cars with their funky single circuit disc brakes don't really give me much confidence. So many improvements in the car overall by 1967.
But, being solid is far more important. I don't think the slight swap is a big deal, shouldn't be significant wiring changes. I agree with the others... keep the transmissions were they are. Someone in eastern europe will buy that 250SE! Jaime On Mon, Jan 25, 2021 at 6:17 PM Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I have a couple of coupes.
