Did that velour used to be blue, or did somebody stick euro velour seats 
in a US car?

Car looks familiar.  About 30 years ago I test drove one with the same oogy
velour interior.  Can't remember the exterior color.  Driver's seat had a
big divot in the foam - supposedly the owner always wore his gun in a
holster, which wore a hole in the seat.

Is there much mechanical difference between Euro and NA?
The seats and headlights look Euro on that one.

Is that the 'warning, don't go faster than this when stuck in the snow' zone?
Looks like the shift points are at 105 and 170, but it seemed to shift
before it got to those points.

Stolen for just $8900.  Easily worth $15K with some minor tweaks.

At first it looked like it might be worth looking into, but the more I 
look at it the more it appears to be a rusty pile of crap. It appears it 
might have actual huge rust hole up in the c pillar and upper corner of 
rear windshield.

...I'm thinking woger should buy it and drive it to the next RustyQ,
 chowderQ, and we should have a KlebQ, and maybe another IOweQ along
 the way to and from...
 
Thinking? You?

What you need to think about is the round trip fuel bill. And the flatbed 
costs from somewhere out in the wilds of N.Dakota when some part constructed 
of unobtanium goes blooey. No question, the 6.9 is a noble beast but it's 
just a curio these days.

Re: [MBZ] 6.9

[RELNGSON]

 ...Seriously, I was thinking that engine would be worth having for
 something.  275hp in a fairly tight package.  I suppose you would need
 the tranny and driveshaft and diff and axles and steering/suspension
 just to make it a whole transplant into some kind of rat rod.   But that
 would be cool...
 
You do realize that the 6.9 in the 116 is a dry sump engine because it's 
too tall to fit in the engine compartment, don't you? And 275hp is not much 
these days when MB's 3.0 V-6 puts out 306hp and can make 30mpg easily.

Re: [MBZ] 6.9

[Dimitri Seretakis]

The way I understand it, it's not all about hp. The extra displacement of the 
V8 should give the engine more grunt at higher road speeds.  My guess is that 
at 70 plus mph the 6.9 will give the 3.0 V6 a run for it's money. Of course, 
I've driven neither car so I can't say based on experience.

Re: [MBZ] 6.9

Dry sump means there is no oil pooling in the bottom of the engine...no oil 
pan.  There is a separate oil tank with a pickup tube to supply all of the oil 
to engine under pressure.  It's not a bad system.  I have hundreds of flight 
hours with a Continental O-470 that was dry sump.  It made inverted flight and 
aerobatics a breeze for the engine.

If you look at the published numbers, the ungoverned V-6 is faster than

130mph so it's real top speed is not attainable.

Re: [MBZ] 6.9 not mine

[andrew strasfogel]

Euro interiors with cloth or velour seats are a real turnoff to me, and the
wood veneers are really cheap looking when worn.  Also, they rust and are
not IMO particularly attractive cars.  Still, if thie 6.9 is your bag then
it seems like a good deal if you want to drive/restore over a period of
years..

Re: [MBZ] 6.9 conversion

[RELNGSON]

 Hey, that's interesting---I don't remember seeing that one.   How did
 they manage the suspension conversion?   At least on my Euro 500SEL
 with Hydramat, everything on the corners of the car is just a little
 bit different in a thousand little ways from a regular 126---no room
 needed for springs so it's  instead taken up with lots of little
 fittings and brackets to support the hydraulic lines running all over
 the place...
 
Well, it's a 116, not a 126 but you may be right in that the suspension may 
not have been swapped. But, the owner had a big book full of progress 
photos of the conversion and he had the two cars side by side to swap the parts 
over. Maybe it will show up next month and I can refresh my memory. Anyway, 
projects like this are fun to do.

I don't think that is the market for these.  I saw one of these in Wichita 
several months ago.  It was a real 6.9. It was brown and had 180,000 miles. 
But, it was running and in good shape.  I think they wanted $7K for it.  It was

Re: [MBZ] 6.9 for sale

[andrew strasfogel]

For a 6.9, you have  to compare the value of your enjoyment for the rare
times you drive it vs. the repair cost, recognizing that it is probably a
depreciating  asset unless you keep up the maintenance (cosmetic and
mechanical).  In other  words, even if it's free this is an expensive
ownership proposition.

 I don't think that is the market for these.  I saw one of these in
 Wichita several months ago.  It was a real 6.9. It was brown and had 180,000
 miles. But, it was running and in good shape.  I think they wanted $7K for
 it.  It was MUCH nicer than this one.  It was for sale for quite a while.  I
 don't know how much it eventually sold for.

Re: [MBZ] 6.9 for sale

Probably messed up from sitting.  I'd allow a good $5000 for parts.
Excluding labour.  Add the parts to the asking price, and ask if a car in
this condition is worth $15,000.  If it has been idle for some time, I bet
you'll find may more little things that need attention, once it's going
again.  But, it's an old car, and these were limited, special cars, so they
will never be cheap to run.  Always cheaper to buy the very best condition
example you can find, when shopping for cars like this.  My thoughts anyway.

Ludicrous.  I've seen a half-dozen for sale locally over the last ten years,
for anywhere from $20K (for what appeared to be a babied one-owner garage
queen) down to $1K (for a scabrous example at a fly-by-night used car lot,
no doubt a money pit, although I seem to recall it was sitting high up as if
the hydraulics were at least partly functional).

I don't know anything about the engine in the 6.9, but labor on the hydro
suspension on my thus-equipped Euro 126 has been ridiculously easy---not
something I'd ever consider paying a shop to do unless I were physically
incapable of crawling under the car (knock on wood) or decided I didn't want

I think most of the mechanic bits on the car were pretty robust, and it only
shows 130,000 or so miles.  But when they sit, or problems are left, oh boy,
the co$t to put them right soon climbs!

Not sure of the part numbers, and what bits were shared between models.
Some bits, are amazingly affordable on our cars.

Re: [MBZ] 6.9 for sale

[Dieselhead]

most people who works on cars, stealerships especially, believe a 600 
is an opportunity to buy a new yacht.  The same, believe a 6.9 is an 
opportunity to buy a new house.


From the factory perspective, the 600 was a hand finished limited 
production car, and prices for parts reflect that.  From the same 
perspective, a 6.9 is also a limited production hand finished car, 
but it is built on a production platform.  That means any parts 
common with any 116, are the same price as any 116 parts.  The parts 
exclusive to the 6.9 are priced similarly to 600 parts.


You do know the secret M100 handshake, don't you?


That said, i'd love to have either, if anyone wants to support it.


The only non-Diesels I ever had a lust for.

Christy,

Here are some websites with considerable info about the 6.9...  An 
awesome car  W116 Body w/M-100 engine.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_450SEL_6.9

http://w116.org/

http://www.m-100.cc/   Then click on 6.9

http://handbook.w116.org/matrix6.htm
	This does not cover the M-100 6.9 engine, but references much about 
450SEL body, etc.  Manual pages are downloaded to Adobe Reader.


Hope this all helps you learn more.

Good luck and have fun,
