This is totally bogus.
The guy has a history of ignoring city codes.

Murder Beach is a relocation area for retired Noo Yawk cops,
firefighters, and other city union employees who scored big on their
pensions so I would worry about rust if this thing relocated. It does
look pretty nice, and $8k is a good price for one of these (560SL).

Understood. That’s perfectly fine, and I can understand why someone would apply
it there. Just wanted to stress that it’s not a good idea to put it on the
mating surface between the bolt or nut and the wheel itself.

Nice job. I remember doing a similar restoration on my W111 coupe front
door panels. In that case I replaced the leather reusing the old masonite
backing.

My first car, the 1975 Civic Hatchback, did that to me one day.
Also with a wiper installed by the owner/driver.
I put the wipers on intermittent (I'd installed an aftermarket delay box
courtesy of JC Whitney) and used them as little as possible until I got home.

Hi folks,
Happy mother's day, everyone! We have a puzzle for you...

Well what jumps out at me is that you don't feel exhaust. Sounds like a
blockage in the exhaust. Take it loose as close as your can right after the
turbo, before the catalytic converter.
This car does not have the original football exhaust filter thing, right above
the turbo, right?

Thanks Max, I will give that a shot.
Classic symptoms of a plugged exhaust.
The old trap catalyst looks like a silver football, located between the rear of
the exhaust manifold and the turbo. The replacement is an insulated pipe about
the same diameter as the manifold.
There is also a catalyst at the end of the downpipe, no reaso
I was worried a bit about that. There were many a dark Arctic night I awoke in
a panic having dreamt that the house had been broken into and all the Mercedes
parts I have stashed in every corner had been pilfered. Or, the criminals had
found the car keeps and absconded with my W126 and the SL.
Maybe I should find a Harbour Fright engine and tuck that under the hood in the
SD with the locked up OM617. I can use the 25% off coupon.

I will be needing to off load the current SDL at some point. Drove it 70 mile
round trip for lunch with Mom. Drives like a dream with smooth shifts and
plenty of power. Just looks like a hot mess as I have yet been able to give it

The lawn part of the yard is not at street level and is all of 15x15. It was
exceptionally pretty according to the neighbors when the daffodils and tulips

of the yard are veggie garden and I have had wheat growing f
I agree with Curly. Stay busy doing "something", and every time thoughts about
