congratulations on getting Die Bismark back on the road where she belongs! Ursula, my '83 300SD, is going into the indy next week to rectify whatever is squeaking in the front end. I'm also having the brakes and exhaust system inspected. When she's all done, she'll be ready for a road trip.

If you add it all up it comes to 365. I will get a new trunk batch that says 365SD. That will stymie some folks. On 8/29/07, Kevin Kraly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think the Bismark should be called the 126.16.23. What is the difference(s) between the 617.950 and the 617.951? Kevin in

And I have a dilemma: Frankenheap is already taken. I have now an '82 126 with a 116 motor and a 123 tranny. Your car has to be a heap-ostuff to qualify for the 'heap' part anyway. Besides, old bolt-neck was named 'monster', not Frankenything. -- Jim
