The US R107 350SL in 1972 had the 450 engine but had a 350SL badge so it would qualify if it is a US model.

all 107's have the problem. The 450SL gets it replaced for free at the dealer. The other models do not. If you need one, I have one available.

It is sweet. Needs paint, no rust anywhere since it's an AZ car (she said they bought it in '73 from a guy going through a divorce), newer soft top, new hard top, interior is a little rough, seats have a couple of teeny cracks, console is kind of a mess. She said whatever looks like it's missing, he has it. Perfect bumpers, no dings, good glass. Not sure about AC or radio (see above). I'm drooling. > My question: is this a model that the subframe is/was an issue? What should I look at? I'm going to, of course, ask the fella if he had the subframe repaired, if it is one that should have been done. If it is, and he hasn't, can I get it done...was it a recall type thing? > > She also said when I take the 350SL, she wants me to "take the other one too" (some type of 108 I think...I didn't peek under his meticulous cover arrangement) . woo hoo > > Bob Rentfro > '77 300D 158K > '87 Acura Legend 177K > Still waiting on '72 350SL 78K > Litchfield Park, AZ > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ > For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > > > -- Kaleb C.
