[MBZ] Fwd: No Reserve: 1970 Mercedes-Benz 220D 4-Speed now live on BaT

2022-06-29 Thread Bob Rentfro via Mercedes
The folks at BAT feel I should be bidding on this. 

Little do they know if it were dark green, Palomino, and a manual I’d be on it 
like a hobo on a hot dog.

Re: [MBZ] Runs on starting fluid - 74 450SL - $2,500

2022-06-29 Thread OK Don via Mercedes
A 1977 or later exhaust manifold will bolt right up, then install the later
exhaust system and you are good to go. BTDT (almost, '75 block in a '78
SLC). Yes - the manual HVAC would be a really nice plus - worth changing
the exhaust manifold and system for IMHO.

The only thing wrong with 76 is the underhood cats, which are probably
gutted by now.  They get in the way a bit.  Plusses to the 76: manual HVAC,
no D-Jetronic.  We had one.  Pretty nice little car, really.
