Crackhead probably put a Tornado air filter on it and thinks that's a turbo.

I thought that was a 427 S/C Cobra story.

The 6.3 was first installed in the 600 Grand in 1963 -- all previous
Benz automotive engines were inlines -- the WWiI vintage "crowngear"

My high school girlfriend's father had one of these cars. I have a *lot* of
fond memories from that car, some of them involving actual driving. :)
Between that and the fact that I learned to drive on a 240D, I guess it was
fate that I would own an MB someday...

Apparently the factory did not think the 4.5 went fast enough, hence the
6.3.
Now lets try putting a turbo
yea, they all did.

The 617 swap was fairly common in Germany -- reduced the taxed

Mercedes did turbocharge the 117 4.5 litre engine - in the C111, and
set several world records with it. They did this after setting all
those DIesel records with the turbo'd 617, and after porche stole a
record from them. Got it back with the C111/117.

Turbocharger?
Not a chance, unless someone has swapped in a 617 turbodiesel instead
of the V8.
There is no room for a turbo in there, believe me. Hardly room for the
V8!
Rust is a deal killer, for sure.
Make sure the rear end is OK, as well, they are getting somewhat scarce.
Peter
the car and check for rust.
