I'm thinking of buying a 560SEL as a daily to replace my Fairmont Ghia which is fading... Am I completely mad, or should I go for it? Any suggestions? Seems the current batch of 6.9s for sale are going for around the same money as a 560, which could suggest the W116 is gaining value compared...

I'm a mate of the seller who had the ad posted by another mate: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-Benz-450SEL-6-9-Euro-Spec-W116-Aus-Deliv-Royal-Blue-1977-6-9-ltr-V8-/121267849736?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item1c3c208a08

So who's up for something interesting?? I wonder what the top speed would be given the different final ratio? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/291065631136?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Mighty Mercs including the 6.3 and 6.9. Amazingly the 6.3 was roughly 5 times the price of an XYGTHO when new!! If that ratio remained the same through the decades, a 6.3 would be worth around $2.5M today!! http://www.uniquecarsmag.com.au/news-and-reviews/article/articleid/86138.aspx

Rated by the mag as one of only four of the best classic four doors in the world! A great article with some minor errors as always, featuring a beautiful sky blue 6.9 from Victoria. Photographed at Werribee Mansion with whitewalls fitted. Apparently Lindsay Fox offered the owner Peter Lennox an...

So how many people would be interested in 20L drums of this stuff, if it was far cheaper than genuine MB? I'm trying to gauge market demand, since it's only available in 1L ATM... http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products.php?id_categ=5&id_products=604 I was told Nulon ISO32 was ok (and bought...

Hot off the press..... But no video yet! http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/Mercedes-S63-AMG-vs-classic-450SEL-2013-11-08

Anyone know the differences apart from the engine capacity? Are any of the engine internals interchangeable? Would a 560 crank, rods n pistons fit in a 420 block, or were the bores different too? Were the heads different? What about the brakes, transmission and diff? Did the 420 have an...

Anyone know if a W220 S500 has airbags in the seats? Would the rear seat be electric, or was that an option only?

Might be interesting for someone.... Minor suspension work, but something don't look right to me. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/berwick/cars-vans-utes/1981-mercedes-benz-500-sedan/1025229658

There's a couple to choose from ATM and even more in the USA: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/greenmount/cars-vans-utes/1977-mercedes-benz-450sel-6-9-litre-sedan-milan-brown/1024119095 http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/magill/cars-vans-utes/1978-mercedes-benz-450-sel-6-9/1023887594

Looks cool: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271243983306?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

So what are your thoughts on the value of this car? 500SEL with what looks like full hydro at some point.... But only some parts of the system remain. It seems to be missing the struts, pump and main pressure hose. I forgot to check for front and main cells; doh! It looks like the control...

What not to do to a 6.9 and how not to drive it.... :eek::eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L0DqIZKRYo

Ok so I have the opportunity to buy a real rough and incomplete 560SEL. But I'm still wondering if it's worth having all those bits to worry about. It's an Aussie built in 10/86 with a VIN of W1260392A267775. It has a 72232302806667 trans (part # 1262707601) and a diff with a tag that says...

Apparently they're asking $85K. Apart from the US bumpers; WOWOWOWOWOWOW! :cool::cool: http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/mercedes_benz/unspecified/1573046.html

I know it's finished but the point is there was 41 bids.... :rolleyes: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-benz-450-SEL-Duel-Fuel-GAS-PETROL-4-5L-Electronic-F-INJ-/151041847382

There was a SN special on tonight featuring Anna from ABBA. They were showing old footage from their Australian tour back in 1977 and I couldn't help but notice..... Check out 2:44; LZH950 where are you now?? :rolleyes::rolleyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVUfL9qnRzU
