[MBZ] 1978 resto mod 450SL C on BAT

Closing today. Is the owner's treatment of this underappreciated classic tasteless or cool? Bidding suggests the former. I could just b*rf though your opinions may differ. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-mercedes-benz-450slc-5/?utm_source=dailymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2018-12-2

Re: [MBZ] 1978 W116 280SE on BAT

One wonders if the bigger issue relates to all of the comments about how sluggish the car is and the references to poor fuel economy. Not a wonderful vehicle, in need of some work, but the price seems very reasonable compared to some recent sales on BAT for old MB. RB On 04/10/2018 10:55 AM, A

It has a 116.036 VIN. But it might have been assembled from 2-3 heaps of junk, or have had parts replaced with pieces from earlier W116 or 280SE. Mitch. > On April 27, 2018 at 12:11 PM Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > > Are you alleging that this is a 450 SEL in 6.9 clothing? > _

The seller states that previous owner added the wood. Has anyone ever seen a w116 with no wood and a 6.9 at that? And no wood by the heater controls and center console on a 6.9? Something is really off with this car. Perhaps it was an option to omit such luxuries on a 6.9 but that doesn’t sound

The right guy will spill his seed upon seeing this thing. The price of fuel is not even a consideration. That car is about as close to scoring a perfect Preservation Class award, but for the skank aftermarket radio. Put a proper Becker or BlauPunkt and you have a $40k car. You would have to

What do people think of this one? It's sort of local (Woodbridge, VA). Since the price of fuel has ratcheted up lately I wonder if that will depress the bidding on gas guzzlers such as this 6.9. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-mercedes-benz-450sel-6-9-2/?utm_source=dailymail&utm_medium=ema

Some observations: I’ve never seen that upholstery pattern in a Euro model. It looks like it’s in very good shape. It’s a stick!! The dual air thing in the trunk is a little scary, but tells me that someone was attempting to use this as a functional vehicle. I say that because my LWB didn’t

Re: [MBZ] 1978?

So, what engine would be in a 78 123 gasser? When did the 280E come out? Could be carbed or injected in that body style. All I6's, to my knowledge. SOHC or DOHC, though. My 250C is SOHC w/Zeniths. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used par

I have been a long time advocate of the Zenith carb on the M130. These are often maligned for poor performance, when in reality they perform quite well when properly set up and adjusted. Dan Sent from my iPhone On Nov 16, 2011, at 7:42 PM, Dieselhead <126die...@gmail.com> wrote: > Zeniths, an

Re: [MBZ] 1978?

No idea about the SBC, but if you set up and properly adjust either the Zenith or Solex carbs, these models, especially the M130 with Zeniths, will pull stumps. Their downfall is the crappy gas mileage. Of all the cars I owned with the M130, I never, ever got better than about 14 MPG. And that
