Re: [MBZ] Looks like a decent SL
Hard to say. Was it garaged for five years or has it languished in a garage for half a decade?

Re: [MBZ] Looks like a decent SL
74/75 are pretty bad if they have the catastrophic converter. Djet is a system best left to experts. Not something to be trifled with from the amount of cash it sucked out of my wallet. The ’76 may not be a really bad SL, as it went back to mechanical injection, but does have the cat. Swap an older set of pipes off the headers, and no more trouble with cooking the engine bay. I am of an opinion that as long as the car runs and seems all there, then the older SL is just as good a purchase as could be made. At this point, all the R107 are at least 31 years old and going to be somewhere on the basket case spectrum. As my indy told me after performing PPI, drive it into the ground, it will cost too much to make it perfect. > On May 2, 2020, at 12:59 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > I thought 74 and 75 were the years to avoid due to the cats under the hood > and the d jet > > Sent from my iPhone clay I have no pronouns please do not refer to me. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

> 1976 Mercedes 450sl Nothing really bad wrong with 76. It's got the basic CIS injection system, though it does have an underhood cat.

Re: [MBZ] Looks like a decent SL
It's '75-'76 with the cats under the hood. However, you can swap out exhaust manifolds and exhaust system from a later engine and move the cat under the floor.

Re: [MBZ] Looks like a decent SL
It’s the second worst year of the 107. Avoid. You won’t have to run away as if your hair was on fire, as it will be shortly after starting it up and seeing all the fuel leaks. -D > On May 2, 2020, at 4:31 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > Not sure if price is high or not. > > 1976 Mercedes 450sl > > https://tulsa.craigslist.org/pts/d/fort-gibson-1976-mercedes-450sl/7114929748.html > > > Sent from my iPhone > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
