Cam, what about a E55 wreck in QLD for $3.5k
But in the meantime if you want a 'real' engine,this guy in Melbourne Australia has a E55 AMG which is smashed up and cannot be reregistered. he needs to sell it NOW because the lease is up on his friends garage .$3500 gets a complete E55 (0-100=4.5 seconds) .

I've canned my idea on a E55 transplant into a 107, so I'm offering my donor car.
The car is a updated 2000 model E55 with the 5.5l engine (M113) and 5spd auto.
The car has sustained heavy left hand side damage and as such is a statutory write-off so can not be re-registered.
The good bits - driveline is intact and undamaged, all the AMG calipers and discs and exhaust are there, AMG rear bar, sideskirts, and smoke lights are all there, right hand side doors with airbags intact, AMG hammer wheels, sunroof, black wood on the dash, all the front end bit less the front bar and ECU
I dont have the keys so the car doesnt start, but any leak down test on the engine is welcome, and previous service history is available from Jucaro Motors leading up to the accident, I also have proof of purchase receipt from Pickles Auction group for 11k that i paid for it.
Imagine that
